TheFallenHaveRisen Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I may be in the minority, but this is my favorite color that the Cowboys use, and think they should use it more often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they could be just like the Patriots. And the Broncos. And the Texans, Chargers, Titans, Rams, Seahawks, and Bears. Hell, I'm probably forgetting a team or two.OR... they could go back to this dark uniform, and have a truly unique color scheme that would belong just to them, and that they could absolutely own... dark royal and metallic blue-silver...

Trapper John Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 The blue from the early 70's was sick, I agree with the guy above. The Super Bowl IV vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current version just looks silly with the offset outline and differing striping and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current version just looks silly with the offset outline and differing striping and such.It's because the Cowboys got whipped in a few games in the late 70's and early 80's while wearing them. (In an especially memorable one, the Eagles made them wear them in a playoff game in Philly. It's memorable to me, because as a kid, my family had just bought our first VRC... Betamax, naturally... and I taped the game. My brother and I would rewind over and over again a shot of Danny White crying on the sideline as the clock ran down. Priceless.) Anyway, instead of saying the obvious "we need to get better players" the Cowboys decided the jerseys were cursed (cursed, I tell you!) and designed their first navy and silver dark uniform. And that started them on the road to mismatched color hell. Â http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfesser Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Of course they lost Super Bowl V (pictured above, a game in which they were designated the home team), as a further example. But they did blitz a good Rams team 28-0 in the 1978 NFC Championship game wearing blue, so they weren't always bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Looking forward to this. The navy uniform is a superior look, if only because all of the parts match better. It will even match the stadium now.Hope this spurs some tweaks ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thanks to the new and absurd throwback rule, I bet the Cowboys are going to go back to wearing the 90's Double Star jersey on Thanksgiving starting with next season.I still love this jersey, but the 60's throwback is far superior.

CubsFanBudMan Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I don't see why they would. It didn't work with the silver helmets and pants any better than the recent throwbacks would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Mismatched blues that come about because of sloppiness is not okay. It's not tradition, or a manufacturing shortcoming (Rams and Giants mismatched helmets, New Era's limited number of cap shades, purple in general), it's an evolution of tweaks that took them furthe and further away from where they started. But it's not hard to trace the current unis back to versions that matched better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29texan Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Look, match the colors. 1 blue. 1 silver. Have a matching look that doesn't dramatically change between home and away. Fine. ... but don't... DON'T wear blue at home. That's just something that shouldn't happen. Also, the NFL is getting less fun by the hour. First take away celebrations, then make Super Bowl logos dull and monotonous as hell, now THIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
