Dallas Cowboys Jerseys

By Geoffrey Wooldridge

Dallas Cowboys uniform consists of helmet, jersey and pants. The team image depends on all of these items, yet, it is clear that the Dallas Cowboys jerseys have a striking impact on the audience. The royal blue with numbers, letterings and stripes on the sleeves is famous nationwide.

The Stars and Stripes is the unofficial name given to road jerseys, and white with navy pinstripes is used for the numbers and the lettering. The Cowboys star logo is on top of the white-gray-white stripes on each sleeve. Finally, the V-shaped neck design in the Dallas Cowboys jerseys makes the items fashionable and comfy.

Dallas Cowboys jerseys also carry a chest crest placed right under the National Football League shield. Silver and blue dominate the entire uniform, including the pants and the helmets. Then, the player's name is written on a special jersey plate and a serifed font is used for the lettering. The uniform that we know today has undergone several modifications over the years with alternations of complex or simple patterns. Thus, the Dallas Cowboys jerseys were blue with white sleeves in the 60s and there was a star on each shoulder. Then, a simpler look was preferred and the jerseys had one solid color and just the stripes on the sleeves remained.

Nevertheless, only few changes were made to the logo, despite the different designs of the uniform. On various occasions, fans had the chance admire more special Dallas Cowboys jerseys such as the 1994 Thanksgiving match when the jerseys had two stars. The navy double star was also present on the Dallas Cowboys jerseys in the 1995 games of Washington and Philadelphia. Truly a rarity, the double star makes sensation whenever it appears on the stadium.

At present there are three official Dallas Cowboys jerseys and while the players wear the regular uniform in most of the games, we can see the other two versions at least once or twice a year. The Cowboys were the team to re-write an unofficial NFL rule by wearing non-colored jerseys in home matches. This is how the white Dallas Cowboys jerseys served for both distance and home matches. The set example was followed by the Washington Redskins or the Miami Dolphins.
