I hope this is the correct forum for this.

This has probably been discussed here already but I missed it.

Can someone please explain to me WHY the Cowboys have the 50th anniversary patches on their uniforms this year, when this is their 51st season of existence? Is Jerry Jones really that stupid? Or has he explained it in a way that supposedly makes sense?

Since I no longer live in the Dallas area, I don't get to hear any of the Dallas sports talk radio that was so near and dear to my heart for so many years. So if they have covered it, unfortunately I was unable to hear it.

Like I said, I figure this has already been discussed in here somewhere' I just missed it. So if anyone knows where I can find that, that would be much appreciated. If it hasn't been talked about yet, then if anyone has any ideas/opinions as to what the Cowboys are thinking in regards to this matter' I'd be very interested in hearing them.

P.S. The Vikings are also wearing 50th year patches, because this IS their 50th season. Also, last year all the old AFL franchises were wearing 50th year patches because like the Cowboys last year, it WAS their 50th season.

50 years from the first season is 51.

It's not a 50th year patch, it's a 50th ANNIVERSARY patch.

Like if you got married on October 17th 2060, today would be your 50th anniversary. But, counting your wedding day, it's the 51st October 17th.

So why did all the AFL teams have their 50th whatever patches last year? And why do the Vikings have it this year?

I really think Jerry thinks this is the 50th season of the Cowboys.

We couldn't celebrate it last year because we got a new stadium.

^^^No, I don't understand that either.

I dunno? They're not good at math? This season IS the 50th Anniversary of the first season though.
