Tweak it...pleeease - Dallas Cowboys Forum

O Skuul · 05-25-2005

I know this is a frequent topic about the uniforms and such. As well, I know there are a lot of traditionalist on this forum that would never change the uniform wholesale to a totally different design... I tend to agree. However lets see some tweaks. With the return of the key injured players, the 3-4 on its way, all the young players looking to mark their mark, and what seems to be a re-committment by JJ, this is a new era for the cowboys, I am sure there are some small things that could be done to express ATTITUDE and define this generation of cowboys as the beginnging of something special.

What about blue or white face masks, what about a different font for the numbers on the uniforms, what about putting a star on the stripe of the pants... these are just suggestions, but I would like to see these young guys put their stamp on this team, primarily by the way they play and contribute, but also with a look and signature that says "we are not the same 5-11 cowboys of recent history" Lets see some new attitude this season.

most teams use their dark jerseys for home games. i think that's why schramm & co. went against the grain and made the whites our home uni. so the cowboys would almost always be in their "home uniform".

i also remember thinking the blue jerseys were bad luck. anybody else have similar memories?

Does anyone ask to tweak a Picasso? Definitely not. Our uni's, in my opinion are fine.

I did at one time think that maybe we should go to a blue fase mask that matched the star on the helmet. But even that would be tampering.

The Cowboy's uni's are fine the way the are... and when the Cowboys are winning and in highlight reels, it just gets better. No change needed.

Use the grey road pants for both home and away. Then match the blue numbers to the same blue on the helmets and we are done......nothing else needs to be done.

Make last year's Thanksgiving Day uniform our uni's all season long.

We used to think we lost in the blue ones. Most of the time we could wear the white. Some teams chose to wear their white at home forcing us to wear the blue.

I still have a preference for the white ones.

My thoughts exactly!

On not changing a classic... Look at pictures from the 70's, 80's, and even the 90's - it appears to me there have been many tweaks along the way.

On HD the home pants look like metallic teal and the numbers do not match the blue on the helmet. That has always bugged me a little.

I've always thought about how we could "tweak" up the uni's a bit,but could not think of anything.
Don't get me wrong,I love our uni's,but I've always wonderd would they would do to change em up a bit..
