Don't think anything's ever been done for it. A shame, too, what with Ouroboros around and all.
You know.... I read this thread title as 'Brass Monkey' and clicked on it out of curiosity. 
Paragon City Search And Rescue
The Mentor Project
And I was expecting something Beastie Boys related. *shrug*
Main Character: Ice/Storm/Ice Controller (Justice, 1340 badges)
Personally I would live to see a Brass Monday flashback arc or event. Steel Canyon all in sepia tone with giant robots stomping down the streets.
I'd even pay extra for that.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
I've always thought it would be cooler if CoH celebrated in-game holidays and events instead of real world holidays. I think this about all MMOs, but they seem convinced that duplicating real-world holidays with virtual equivalents is more interesting.
Meh.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Well, the real-world holidays are what players are used to. And for many of the holidays represented with MMO events, players are taking vacation time or have time off from school, an opportunity to play more.

Plus, wouldn't the in-game holidays for CoX mostly be real world holidays anyway?

VR day (Victory over the Rikti), the aforementioned Brass Monday, etc. CoH has had different history than the real world, they might have moved "president's day" to a different weekend than us. Etc. there's all kinds of potential. Never touched upon.|

Didn't one of the early CG trailers for CoH have a take on Brass Monday in it?
I, too, would love to see a special 'flashback' TF or something centered on BM.
Craft your inventions in AE!!
Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!
Devs are on record that creating a time-specific environment is hugely resource heavy since just about everything in the environment will have to be created new with no borrowing from elsewhere in the game and then have limited use to be used in other new zones. Which means... ain't gonna happen unless a very big deal will be made out of it (like Cimerora). IOW, there will be no one-off nostalgia settings.

Was anything done for it in-game? I remember it being mentioned in a Ustream that this year it actually falls on a Monday. Understandable if not but just curious.
