This was from the Bengals equipment manager Rob Recker in 2007...

So there's more reason why the Bengals don't change helmets. It would require a total repainting of the helmet, which they won't do.

Not sure if you are making this out as a cost saving measure. It's not that expensive and Riddel would probably do it for free for such a big account. The issue is that it would take a week to complete which would not allow the players to use their helmets for a week.
