Well your right and wrong.. Ill let you in on a little known secret We only have 3 different Helmets these were purchased 3 years ago and only replaced if damages.. We have a white/red/and black helmet.. All the variations are just stickers. I do get your point though But of course there is a large charge to refurbish each helmet annually. Probably exceeds what most people think a new helmet costs. No doubt and it can not be denied football is very expensive

My wife tried to buy me a BSU football helmet for christmas. They are available for a bargain Basement donation of 500 bucks. I did not get a football helmet. So if someone has an old helmet lying around please send it my way

No doubt and it can not be denied football is very expensive It should also be noted that most if not all of those helmets were donated. The helmets do go back to the manufacturer every year to be inspected, repaired, and repainted. Sometimes they have repainted them with a different color or added things like red sparkle.

So if someone has an old helmet lying around please send it my way If you buy your own helmet and have connections with the equipment staff it is pretty easy to get a set of stickers. The helmets themselves are pretty expensive. When my son was in high school 8 years ago we bought his helmet and it was $350+ for a Riddell Speed helmet.

Crazy. Back when I played, I made my own out of an old motorcycle helmet and bent up some rebar for a facemask. And I was glad to have it!

Between your helmet and the lack of basketballs for Thompson it is a wonder you follow sports at all.
