The Swamp Yankee Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hasn't this topic been beaten to death yet? I mean whenever the cowboys play it's automatic that someone is going to mention their silver-green pants. About as automatic as a chip shot field goal. Oh, never mind.....

dennisbergan Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 It was the throwback uniforms fault they choked away the game. Isn't that what people around here say is the reason why the Cowboys lose?Ohh that's right, they wore their "lucky" whites and still lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think his 4-year stint with the Cowboys shows he's overrated. If he steps down, no way no how this guy gets in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he steps down, no way no how this guy gets in the Hall of Fame.he is a scott norwood wide right, from being a super bowl anomoly. the only reason the giants won the super bowl against the bills is because norwood gave the giants a gift. He failed to win the SB in NE, failed to make the SB with the Jets, and he is 0-2 in the playoffs in Dallas. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 You all knew I'd eventually chime in on this...Here's a rough timeline: 1. 1964: Tex Schramm (the Cowboys' GM) decides that - due to the advent of color television - the Cowboys should come up with a unique color that would look good on TV. A custom metallic color (Silver-Blue) is created and the Marketing Dept. names it "Metallic Blue". 2. 1981: Due to the perceived "curse" of the Royal Blue jerseys with the Metallic Blue pants, the Cowboys unveil a new road uniform set - one that utilizes Navy Blue jerseys and Silver (Gray) pants. As opposed to the White, Royal Blue and Silver-Blue in the home uniforms. This decision has more to do with the fact that the Royal Blue and Metallic Blue combination didn't have enough contrast. The "Metallic Blue" is now called "Metallic Silver Blue", and is slightly tweaked in terms of shade. 3. circa 1991: Due to the advent of "blended" Pantone Metallic colors, and the addition of a number of new colors, the Cowboys drop the custom Silver-Blue, and assign an actual Pantone value to the Silver-Blue. In addition, they also go with a new custom color for the home pants. Even though it isn't officially called this as yet - it is what it is now known as Silver-Green. 4. 1997: The Silver-Green color for the home pants is officially designated.It should be noted that periodically over the years (at least that I've been able to determine), that it has only been since around 2002 that THREE different Metallics have been listed as official values for the "Silver" color - it's been inconsistant, and not accurate at all. Here's what is currently used (Solid Colors):Helmets:DALLAS COWBOYS SILVER-BLUEHome Pants:DALLAS COWBOYS SILVER-GREENRoad Pants, Road Uniform Trim:DALLAS COWBOYS SILVER-GRAYHere is what the same colors look like, only using the Pantone Textile colors (used for fabrics):Helmets:DALLAS COWBOYS SILVER-BLUE ("Quarry")Home Pants:DALLAS COWBOYS SILVER-GREEN ("Blue Haze")Road Pants, Road Uniform Trim:DALLAS COWBOYS SILVER-GRAY ("Silver") - or - DALLAS COWBOYS SILVER-GRAY ("Wind Chime")Something needs to be done with this...as I've stated any, many times in the past, they need to pick ONE Blue (a Dark Royal Blue like the Colts would work), and the Silver-Blue. Done. No more Silver-Green, Silver-Gray, Royal Blue, Black (!), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeJ Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 everyone can say what they want about the cowboys uniforms, but that silver-green color is one of my favorite colors ever.i hate the team, hate the uniforms, and think they need to clean up their look.... but something about that silver green color is just fantastic to me.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Just a suggestion. Can there be an official Dallas Cowboys colors explanation in the board FAQ? Seems like it could replace these every-other-month threads about the topic. 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...
