Just got my Spring 2008 Montanan magazine. There is an interesting article on "Suiting Up"

Today's Grizzlies may have up to five pairs of shoes depending on field and weather conditions. The now also have practice uniforms, workout gear, custom-fitted helmets that are adjusted before and during every game, and several Nike game-day uniforms....
...And the budget? Outfitting one Grizzly football player today costs $1,500.
Now, is that what it might cost retail? I would think that there are sponsors or something like that and some of the equipment might not cost a thing since the logo is showing. I am probably wrong, but that would make sense. And I would think that the school would bid that stuff otherwise or be able to get lower contracts. Then again it's a state entity and we all know how efficient they are at times...
My Schutt Air helmet cost $275 back in 2000... Luckily, besides personal protection pads / neck roll / rib pads etc, the team provided everything else... I'd say I spent about $400 on gear total...
Born A Griz in 75, Played under the stands of Dornblazer in 85, Moved to Seattle in 86... You can take me away from Montana, but you cant take the Montana away from me
