Default Help with Cowboys blue jersey history

Hi folks, new user here. I'm a football historian who is trying to track NFL uniforms worn in each game for every team, historically. The Cowboys are pretty easy to figure out: unless I'm mistaken, they've worn white at home since 1964, when they went to the current uniforms. (I'm not counting any of the 'throwback' games over the last few years.)

The Cowboys would be 'forced' to wear their blue jerseys just a few times each year. I'm trying to confirm for what games this was done, for anyone who has a long memory or photo evidence that can be posted here.

For instance, I know the Cowboys wore blue on the road against the Steelers in 1967, as I have a lot of old football books with BW pics. As far as I know, the NFL had a rule from 1957-63 that the home team had to wear their dark jerseys at home...but in 1964 they relaxed this and many teams experimented with wearing white.

Any help with this would be much appreciated!!
