lypator Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Why do the Cowboys wear their ugly white uniforms with the royal blue colored numbers and blue tinted pants all the time? (It's a rhetorical question, I know the superstition). What I am trying to say is their road uni's are one of the nicest uniforms in the league. By the way this is coming from a Giants fan who hates everything the Cowboys stand for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmee Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 As another Giants fan, it took me a second to realize what looked so different to me about the Cowboys today. Then I realized they were in blue, and that they looked flippin' awesome. The world's foremost practitioners of professional tag-team wrestling.

IceCap Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 the boys wearing white wouldn't be so bad if they just redesigned them to match the blue jersey's template (also, pick one silver, one blue).

ShlyKBMT Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Another thing I noticed about Dallas is their field art doesn't even match. Yesterday during the High School State Championship game they had a closeup of the helmets in the endzone. The Star and endzone were royal, but the stripes on the helmet were navy, why, why, why.

meetthemets Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Their white unis are white and royal. The blue jerseys are navy. I think if they were to take the navy's and do the exact opposite for the white it would look 100X better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I like the Cowboys mismatch. I hate the team and all it stands for, but I like that they do their own thing, have basically two (three with the alt) completely different uniform sets, and no one really seems to mind. There's a certain level of arrogance involved that I can't help but respect.Plus, they wear their blues so infrequently (basically once a year at Washington) that the dissonance isn't really noticed. If they were to wear the blue uniforms eight times a years, however, then it would be different. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were to wear the blue uniforms eight times a years, however, then it would be different. For me, it's not the dissonance between the blue alts and the blue on the home whites, it's between the blues on the white and on the helmet and pants.I don't mind inconsistency. I love the Yankees uniforms, the Tigers and the Dodgers' look. They have inconsistencies all over the place, but it doesn't bother me.This, however, is just a mess.

Jayworld Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Being a life-long resident of the Dallas community, I must say that the Cowboys uniforms are indeed MADDENING, especially during the Jerry Jones (ugh!) tenure....Their best look, in my opinion, was the uniforms worn in the 1970s, as the helmet stripes, helmet stars, jersey piping, visiting jersey, etc. were all DARK royal, not navy, not royal....Over the years, the white (home) jerseys have become more light royal in the stripes and numbers, and when Dallas replaced the original dark royal road jerseys with the navy ensemble in 1980, it's never been the same. Since the "voodoo" hex dark royal jerseys were jettisoned, Dallas has had at least FOUR different (some subtle) changes of navy road jerseys.I'd love to see the Cowboys return to the dark royal, with the metallic blue/silver pants that would actually MATCH the helmet PMS color for home/road games....Jayworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Can't stand the blue Cowboys jerseys. Why white numbers with white outlines? The Danny White era blues were perfect with silver numbers outlined in blue and then white AND no star on the stripes.Only problem with the whites is the black outline on the stripes that doesn't continue through to the numbers. Either outline in black or don't outline in black, but not both. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Legend Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I said this on another forum: I'm a Redskins fan and those Blue Cowboys jerseys are one of the best in the NFL. Something about them screams NFC East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I love the double standard in mismatches. Every aspect of the Cowboys uniform MUST MATCH EXACTLY CORRECTLY RIGHT NOW. But when somebody complains about the Nationals slapping a big loopy W with a bunch of hard angular 3-D block letters, people go "OKAY THEY ARE NOT THE DC NATIONALS!!! THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF WASHINGTON BASEBALL!!" ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpawstu19 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 so the cowboys have two differnt pants, one wiht royal blue stripes and that are a blue/silver, and one that has navy stripes and is a normal silver and actualyl matches the rest of the uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the dislike is just not as heated because the Nationals don't arouse the same level of strong feelings (love or hate) as the Cowboys.

As for my tastes, the mismatched colors didn't really bother me that much until everyone pointed it out. I just thought things were a little off, not a lot off, but I was busy "notic[ing] the scores." Now it bothers me more because I know better . . . and because it would be very easy to at least match the colors (the styles are not that big a deal to me).
