Yeah Im really suprised that these helmets are still around at the college level, especially with the technology that has been out for so long now...Maybe high school teams who cant afford upgraded equipment...

I think I read somewhere that they estimate that something like 75,000 players (high school, college and pros) still wear the older model helmet. In response, Riddell has started a program whereby you can get $50 off
the price of a Revo helmet if you trade in your old VSR-4.
