Of the Cowboys fans that I know, which is quite a few, I’ve never seen any of them wearing a white jersey, shirt, or hat. It’s almost always navy or silver. If I didn’t loathe the Cowboys (Mandies fan here), I’d buy a navy jersey in a heartbeat. They make a killing off the navy merchandise, but refuse to acknowledge it on game day. Its very clearly their best jersey, but I guess that’s an unpopular opinion of mine. Their identity is based on wearing white at home. They've done it for so long that I don't think they should change now. And away that's based on what the home team wears. The one thing I think they need to change is the number fonts, and go back to Staubach from when they first entered the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsFan12 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Looking at this Bucs schedule, we can realistically expect a lot of red for once. The first two games are on the road against teams that will likely be in white at home. And then they play two home prime time games, a London game, and a Week 9 late afternoon kickoff all in the first half of the season! I predict it will be Red at Dallas Pewter at New Orleans in Color Rush white vs. GB and ATL Red for hopefully the rest of the home games unless they randomly wear white here and there like last season. The difference though is that they lost in WAH in the playoffs this time around. We’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I hate the Cowboys, but I love this jersey... I never need to see the navy blue again. 9 http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they aren’t going to wear it more than twice a season, why not make it inverse of the white jersey? Fans wouldn’t notice; they don’t even know they use different blues. (ironically, the first half of my question answers the second half, but the point still stands). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BW14 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I’d swap the black trim for metallic blue. That goes for the white jersey too, but yeah, that’s should be the Cowboys’ blue jersey 3 hours ago, oldschoolvikings said: I hate the Cowboys, but I love this jersey...

I'm a sucker for those quirky little touches that seem like mistakes, but somehow hang around for 50 years.

Which when you think of it is what the division does aside from the eagles for their home and away…kinda odd Cowboys - Totally different Blues & silvers, as well as Style Commanders - totally different style and color palette between the home and away Giants - Red numbers and stripes compared to their all blue home jersey Philly would need to move their white/away look to being devoid of green like the Commanders and gold, or Giants and blue. Or do Kelly green instead of midnight like the cowboys do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should bring back that number font. Normal block is boring, that one has more personality. 8 If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart.

Ted Cunningham Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 That set of numbers is kind of like the "McAuliffe" numbers for football: A fair few teams used it, but because of its recent use, it's associated with one team. The Titans/Jets also used a serif block font similar to that, correct? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a common font for multiple football teams, but it was most recognizable as the font the Cowboys wore in the 70's because of how many times the Cowboys made the Super Bowl. Just like the Red Sox font was worn by multiple teams, including the Yankees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovidiumark Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Unfortunately, I am not following the basketball news in detail right now. However, I had always loved this sport and played it when I was a child. That’s why I have always had an interest and followed all the leagues. I even collected stickers with MVP players. The longest player was Richard Sligh among them. I don’t have a specific favourite team. However, my favourite player is Lebron, and I watch him at the Laker. I even managed to fly and watch one match last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 The Cowboys have had diverging fonts, stripes, shades of silver, shades of blue, shades of metallic blue all built on top of each that its like a Medieval city. Trying to impose uniformity would be like slapping the a bunch of neoclassical facades in Siena. Sure it'd be coherent but it would lose some of its soul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
