HOOVER Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Just now, Cujo said: Looking like total dog shyte = character? They look like the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys look one way when dressed in White and another way dressed in Navy. It’s how it’s pretty much always been and probably how it always will be. Might not be your cup of tea, which is totally okay, but they’re certainly an iconic brand in not just football, but all of sports, and their fanbase and merch sales back that up, regardless of whether their blues or grays match. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s how it’s pretty much always been and probably how it always will be. Imagine the New York Yankees wearing navy hats and with jerseys using royal lettering. Embarrassing, right? That is what the Cowboys have been trying to get away with. No other team in pro sports does this. It actually goes against the true definition of "uniform". It looks so poverty. You would think the richest North American pro sports franchise would be able to address it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they haven't "been trying to get away with" it...it's not a modern thing. They've been dressing like this for like 50 years, it's well-documented...and the years when they did have matching silvers, they didn't look right. 1 1 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing the article has refreshed is my disdain for the mismatched colors. You can argue it's part of their look all you want, you can give it historical context, you can say it's been around for 50 years. Doesn't make it any less ugly or any less inferior to a single shade of blue and a single shade of silver. 10 1 1 Quote Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi-Tex_Kidd Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 this is why the nfl should allow the cowboys to have one helmet with royal stripes and logo and one with navy what y’all think? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Dallas would be wise to move forward with the navy jersey and CR as a base for a new set 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Posting for the 2975th time. The matching navy/silver is farrrr superior to that royal/navy/seafoam/silver garbage. 12 4 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi-Tex_Kidd Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 honestly the only part i think could be fixed is the helmet difference with my past comment of royal stripes and logo on home navy on the away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi-Tex_Kidd Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 alright yea I get this one they should be navy would bring the two sets in line with uniformity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I personally wouldn't even go the navy and silver route when dark royal and bluish silver are right there. Solves the mismatch, stays unique, still feels classic Cowboys. It's effectively what they wore during the 70s, so it's still traditional too. Everything 'good' about the mismatched set would remain if they switched over, renders the mismatched set completely moot. It isn't hard. At the very least I could potentially live with a mismatched set if they used the same jersey design on the home and away, but they can't even do that. Absolutely insane to me why they've kept this going for so long. I guarantee not many people would notice if they made the switch. 1 hour ago, HOOVER said: That's your opinion. Wow, is it?

ruttep Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 3 hours ago, Cujo said: The 394652 shades of blue and silver immediately disqualify the Cowboys from ever being in the best uniform conversation. I won't deny that they need to fix the blue, but the red/gold and blue/silver contrast so well off of one another that I still think it's the best matchup in the league.
