The hat bishops, and archbishops wear is called a "Mitre", and is not like that. It looks very different, and it is not white. Only the Pope may wear white. Bishops wear one that is usually violet. Cardinals wear a red zucchetto, and the Pope wheres a white one. There are different designs for each.

I agree there, except the part about wearing it would look like you are making fun of Him. Someone would eventually use it, to make fun of him, in which case people would get offended, including myself (I am not Catholic, but making fun of the Pope, is something I would not tolerate.) If it was changed to a Mitre though, would that be acceptable?
