On The Road With The Dallas Cowboys
On the road with the Dallas Cowboys could refer to many things in their history, but nothing is as unusual as the curse that has followed them over the years. It is about the color of thier jerseys and is something that has been debated for some time. The tradition was begun by Tex Schramm in 1964, but he still claims that he does not believe in the curse and that it was only to let fans see the opponents colors at home games.
When on the road they their offical blue jerseys that go with their uniforms, but at home games the Cowboys wear their white jerseys. They were the first to start doing this in the NFL, as it was an unofficial rule that home teams had to wear their colored jerseys. Over the years the blue jerseys had become known as jinxed, due to their many loses when they wore them.
Since 1970 the league rules have been modified and home teams can choose their jersey colors. Other teams like the Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins have followed in suit with Dallas on this issue. Perhaps there really is a curse on the Dallas Cowboys blue jerseys.
