Next year I want to change my helmet color from white to orange. I plan on shipping 30-35 helmets to be reconditioned and change the color. I also want to change the chin strap to black, and send off the facemasks to be changed from white to black (greengridiron is what I ran across).
What is the cost I am looking at per helmet? Is Schutt or riddell any better for pricing (both can reconditioned each style, correct?)?

Through Schutt, I think it was like $35/helmet. |

If you're teams colors aren't orange and black your gonna piss off a lot of people. I changed our helmets to red with white facemasks the year I got my first head coaching gig and the whole town was pissed. I hated that blue and gold that they'd worn every year. Boring. I'm glad I didn't stay at that school but one year! |

I changed the color of our facemasks this year from purple to white. I had talked with Green Gridiron to do the change but ended up doing it as part of the reconditioning. The district here pays up to $5k each year for safety gear (helmet & shoulder pad reconditioning) so if I did the masks separately I would have had to pay for it. But by making it part of the reconditioning the district paid for it. The color of money is very important.
Green Gridiron gave me a quote of something like $17 per facemask with our quantity of 85 or so. I think it was a bit more than that with Schutt but I didn't have to pay for it.
I've got boxes of chin straps from every generation you can think of so I'm going to try and enforce the white chinstrap as well.
Schutt tells us that painting helmets, flat, normal color, is about $15 1st time and then $10 per helmet after that.

I know they will cover reconditioning, but I am not sure they will cover extra expenses. That is why I am wondering if changing colors cost an additional charge. (Trying to figure out my fundraising goal). I would prefer to just have the reconditioning company to redip the facemasks, but if it's out of my football budget pocket, I will go the more economic route. |

Got a quote for the reconditioning and facemask re-dip. How does this quote from Schutt compare to Riddell reconditioning? I have asked the Riddell guy, just haven't hear back as of yet.
Helmets reconditioned $45 add $14.95 for color change to standard pro-gloss paint. Freight is $4/helmet.
Facemasks re-dipped for $19.95.

Painting- don’t forget that painting is an every year thing, you have to allocate funds each year for that.

Our reconditioning includes a repainting of the helmet and face mask I believe.

I don't understand why changing a color on a facemask is such a high charge.
If the company is reconditioning the helmet, why wouldn't your choice of color be included. I was quoted like $25 per facemask (FREE if I were to keep our color) and thought that was the dumbest thing ever.
Then again, I may be the dumb one.

What I do not understand is why I have a charge of $15 for changing colors when my shell is white. If they repaint the helmet anyways, why does it cost extra if the base is white? I can see why the facemask would cost extra. They have to strip it and re-dip it, if I am correct. |

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought that all masks had to be stripped to see that the structure of the mask was sound. |

I don’t believe face masks get re-painted as part of the reconditioning process. That’s why there is an extra charge.

If the helmet is still the original color, it just gets stripped down, inspected, cleaned, and buffed. Re-painting is only done when you are changing helmet colors or you are sending in helmets for reconditioning that were previously painted. |

Helmets reconditioned $45 add $14.95 for color change to standard pro-gloss paint. Freight is $4/helmet. Facemasks re-dipped for $19.95. How much is a brand-new facemask? At minimum, $35. It is a lot more for speedflex facemasks. For 40 helmets, that is a lot of cheddar if it is an additional $15 per helmet. I would love to have 2 different colored facemasks, but redoing our look is a lot of $. We ordered 37 Nike, home Jerseys and pants for just under $7,500. We are raising the $, close, to ordering the away jerseys and pants, another $7,500 (took a chance with this approach, it seems to be working). Repainting the helmets and redoing the facemasks is the last step of the image improvement. |
