Kenshi's Blindfold

This crimson-red blindfold is made by the blind swordsman Kenshi. Kenshi's Blindfold first appeared along with him in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and later reappeared as another collectible Relic in the Konquest mode of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
After being blinded at the hands of the sorcerer Shang Tsung by looking into the Well of Souls inside the tomb of his ancient ancestors and removing their legendary sword, Kenshi uses this piece of cloth to hide his eyes and to increase his awareness of sound.
In MKX, he still wears the bandana, however when Kenshi uses his Kenjutsu variation, his blindfold is removed and reveals his blind eyes glowing blue.
In MK11's Krypt, Kenshi's corpse can be found after a last stand against Shang Tsung and his demons. The Descendant of Apep can take the blindfold and wear it as a bandana. The blindfold also still retains a vestige of the blind swordsman's powers which allows the Descendant to peer into the spirit realm. He can activate it by putting the blindfold over his own eyes.
In MK1's Story, Kenshi's blindfold was a part of Johnny Cage's armor. Until he removed it and put a dark yellow cream to dull the pain.

It was pointed out via flashback by Sonya and Johnny about Kenshi's tragic fate, on how he became blind and became a vital part of the Special Forces while Hsu Hao turned rogue. For several years, after he met Shujinko before the original tournament in 1992, he was blind and wore that signature red ribbon. That was till around 1996, after he trained Aiko with her cardiokinesism when he had a crucial surgery in Japan which enhanced his sight partially, only to be colorblind with his blue tint; his eyes then received glowing eyes inserted by the Special Forces thus having his bright eyes and never wore the blindfold since!
