One of the most valuable sport franchises in the world, Dallas Cowboys, joined the NFL in 1960, as an expansion team. It is also one of the most popular teams in NFL, judging by their record of 160 sell out games, 81 of which was on the road. Cowboys hold the record for most Super Bowl appearances, playing in eight of them, along with 8 NFC championships they won. They also hold the record for 20 consecutive winning seasons (1966-1985). It is one of the longest winning streaks in professional sport. According to Forbs magazine, Dallas Cowboys are one of the wealthiest sport clubs in the world, earning about 269 million dollars annually. They play their home games at Cowboys Stadium. Below, we are going to look deeper into Dallas Cowboys jerseys and see if they are good.

Original Cowboys jerseys from 1960 were blue with white sleeves and a blue Texas star on each shoulder for home games and negative opposite on the road. However, in 1964 team’s first president Tex Schramm decided that Dallas football fans should see other teams’ colored uniforms and started a tradition that last today, that Cowboys play their home games in white jerseys. This was done despite the convention that team play their home games in color uniform and away in white ones. Since then several other teams have adopted this.

Today’s home jersey is white, with two blue stripes on the sleeves, while away is navy blue with white and gray stripes and star on sleeves. This jersey is nicknamed “Star and Stripes jersey.” Home pants are metallic silver blue and away are pearlish metallic-silver color. Helmets, originally white, are also are metallic silver blue, with a white vertical stripe, outlined in blue.

During the 1994 75th NFL anniversary, Cowboys wore “Double star jersey”, celebrating their back to back Super Bowls. This jersey is still used on special occasions. In 2004 they introduced third jersey or throwback jersey, white with blue shoulders, their original jersey from 1960. This uniform is worn at least once per season.

Cowboys defeat by Cleveland Browns in 1968 started a belief that their away blue jersey is jinxed, as they seem to lose when they play in them. The curse became popular in 1971, in Super Bowl V when Dallas was forced to wear blue jersey, as they were designated home team.

Needless to say, they lost … READ MORE ...

One of the aspects that always keeps NFL team merchandise sales moving is that players switch teams so frequently these days. Off the field drama, salary caps, free agency, trades and more all lead to an increase in player movement and therefore a changing scene for authentic NFL jerseys. Here are some of the players you may want to keep an eye on this year.

Probably the biggest name that is likely to be on the move this year is Julius Peppers. He wants a long-term deal with the Carolina Panthers, but both sides seem to think that it has no chance of happening. Therefore, Panthers fans will need new discount NFL apparel for another player, and wherever Peppers lands, fans there will be loading up on his jersey.

Another big name on the move is going to be LaDainian Tomlinson. It’s hard to believe the huge drop off in production that the Hall of Fame running back has had over the past two to three years. Fans in San Diego still love him, as showcased by his authentic NFL jerseys everywhere, but the team will not be willing to pay him a big salary for just a modest role on the team. That means some lucky fans in another city will be stocking up on new NFL team merchandise with his name on it.

Terrell Owens is another Hall of Fame bound player that will be on the move during this off-season. There’s a chance he stays with the Bills and nobody needs to change out their collection of discount NFL apparel. However, he could go any number of different places such as the Cincinnati Bengals.

Quarterback Donovan McNabb is rumored to be on his way out of Philadelphia. This is surprising, because his authentic NFL jerseys are some of the league’s best sellers. But the Eagles may want to move in a new direction, which means a lot of old Eagles NFL team merchandise will be showcasing the wrong player. Of course, another Eagles quarterback, Michael Vick, will also likely be on the move.

These are just a few of the big names that are likely to be switching teams before next season starts. It all means that lots of new authentic NFL jerseys will need to be purchased, and NFL team merchandise sales will continue at a very rapid pace. Be on the lookout for these names … READ MORE ...

Playing in the South division of the AFC in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars are one of the newer additions to the league. They joined only as recently as 1995, at the same time as another expansion team, the Carolina Panthers. If you are planning to attend a game at the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium then you should be sure to wear the latest Jacksonville Jaguars jerseys so that your support can be clear for all to see.

The first season that the Jaguars played featured many great players in their team that would end up contributing to the achievements over the next few years. Individuals such as James Stewart, Tony Bocelli, Mark Brunell, and Jimmy Smith helped the club reach four consecutive play offs.

As the Jaguars were a completely new-team they had no history to draw on for the design of their kit and logo. Unfortunately, there was some disagreement initially with the Ford motor company, owners of Jaguar cars which also featured a leaping jaguar as their motif. A compromise was reached resulting in a new logo depicting a snarling jaguar head with a teal colored tongue. There is a rumour that the color teal was chosen as a slight to the Carolina Panthers who use a teal design heavily in their uniforms. As recently as 2009 the logo was revamped resulting in today’s design which is much simpler and straightforward.

At the same time as the last logo change there were also alterations made to the kits. The latest style features a teal or white jersey with a black trim and gold numbers. The pants are white and the helmets are black. On the sleeves of the jersey is a prowling jaguar. In fact, the Jacksonville Jaguars were the first NFL team to use a two-tone border on their lettering and numbers which is now common.

For their home games the team usually play in their white jerseys. This is common for clubs that are based in the hotter parts of the country. It also gives an advantage in so much that the visiting team is forced to play in darker colors that absorb more heat. When playing away matches the Jaguars mostly use their teal colored uniforms.

Of course, there have been occasional changes to this pattern. For example, in the 2008 and 2004 seasons the Jaguars utilized the teal jerseys for every home match. There … READ MORE ...
