Cowboys will wear white jerseys on Sept. 12 vs Commanders

Someone ratchet up the Commanders gold pants alert level from "gold" to "really really gold." A Cowboys official has confirmed to me that Dallas will be wearing white tops in FedEx Field on Sept. 12. That means the Commanders will be wearing burgundy tops. Throw in some gold pants, and the above magic could be recreated.
"Usually, Washington wears its white jerseys at home but new coach Mike Shanahan is changing that," DallasCowboys.com's Nick Eatman wrote on the True Blue blog, via Extreme Skins. "So the Sept. 12 opener will see the Commanders wear their reds."
Reds? Anyhow, the Cowboys official I spoke with confirmed that the Cowboys will be in white for the opener, and said that uniform choices were due to the league on June 1.

If you recall, back in May, GM Bruce Allen started the gold alert when he talked about staring at a pair of gold pants in his office. Soon, Commanders fans were making mock-ups of what that might look like in the modern age.
Earlier this month, Allen declined to provide any more details and suggested the final decision had not yet been made. By then, the Commanders store at FedEx Field was already selling t-shirts featuring the gold pants.

I don't care if we're wearing metallic silver green pants (haha!), we're still beating the Commanders!

"Tops?"

The Cowboys are wearing "tops?"

Get your fans all hyped up before the game, Shanahan!

I hope you have the worst post-game teleconference imaginable.

I'm kinda bummed no blue jerseys this year. I'm more surprised that Houston is not wearing white given that they sometimes wear white at home and they had success in those uniforms against the Cowboys in 2002.

I don't care what they wear. But I hate those gold uniforms anyway.

Is this as unusual as I think it is? I can't ever remember wearing white in DC.

IDC either way. I love the blue every bit as much as the whites.

The last time we wore white at Washington was in 2001.

That's funny. The pants will most likely be yellow. Not gold like the Rams. Ya gotta love teams like the Steelers, and now the Commanders saying they have gold in their color scheme. It's piss yellow my friends. Piss Yellow!

I noticed that. I guess because yellow is often associated with "cowards" but yes, they are yellow. Flat out yellow.

That figures! I have mental block on years 2000-2002.

Cowboys Month. Red jerseys. Gold pants. None of it matters. The Commanders suck. Even if they are improved, they still suck. The Cowboys will beat them in white, blue, pink or purple. None of it matters.

Funny you would say this. I literally don't remember a lot of what transpired during those days. It's sad really. I can't express how happy I am to have the roster and staff we currently have. I do not take it for granted.
