Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

What is the story behind why Dallas uses a Star on each side of their helmet to represent their name? What the f&*k do Stars and Cowboys have to do with one another? If you ask me, the logo on their helmet should be a silhouette of Jerry Jones gettin' bucked off a bull. And don't tell me that it represents the Lone Star State because technically, there are two stars on their helmets not one.

Lone Star State?

uh, who cares?

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

You live in San Antonio and you haven't seen a Texas Flag?

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

I think it represents the twinkle in the eye of the other cowboy whilst sitting around the campfire on yet another lonely cattle drive. Basically, cowboys [I]like[/I] either, a lot.

Yeah I have smart a z z, but the Texas flag is also red, white, and blue, not navy blue, white, and silver!

It's still the "lone star". Thus they put it on their helmet. It's a good logo to represent Texas, imo...

Get in the spirit if you're a true Redskins fan, this is what is so great about the rivalry, especially when one lives in Texas and is surrounded by Cowboy fans. I can't help it and believe me, neither can they. Oh, and technically there are two Stars on their helmets, not a lone star.

i think its the crappiest helmet/logo in the league tho...really

As much as I love the Redskins, I'm very proud of the State.

So we have two Indians then?

Look dude, what are you trying to tell me, that I'm not proud to be a Texan just because I won't admit to the Cowboys logo as being representative of the State Flag? Stop posting ridiculous replys. The fact of the matter is that while I may be a Texan, I do not live in Dallas and do not care for how that city represents this State, especially the city's most notable residents Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones. Again, you are still missing the whole point of this thread! Please stop sucking up to the Star Logo on the Cowboys Helmet and make some noise for the Skins!! If you can't do that then you need to get off the Warpath, strap on your shitkickers and your chaps, and get on that cattle trail with the rest of your star gazing compadres!

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

I mean if you really want to delve into the history the star makes no sense, as the star virtually reperesents a badge of a police officer of the old west, and if youre completley clueless about the history of the cowboys go watch Tombstone, wyatt erp etc... the cowboys logo should be a gay little red sash as not only does that represent true cowboys but the gays that step onto the field every sunday as well

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

OK fellas, let's ease up on cowboykiller. Hey cowboykiller, we're only teasing...it's all in good fun, don't take it personally.

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

They were called Dallas Texans 1st year...it's in your Dallas Cowboy's Haters handbook people.......But as far as the thread....its what they decided on after Talbert smacked Staubach upside the head, and thats all he saw for the rest of the season! So they thought it would be easier for him to locate his receivers that way.

P.S. Love the name and welcome KILLER!!!! HAIL SKINS!!!

I never take it personally, I merely represent. And you're right, this is supposed to be fun and it sure as hell is.

I stand by this joke, but I feel like it was lost in all the bickering, so I'm quoting myself. Damn it.

its kind of hard not to clown on you right now. You are from Texas, you would think of all people you may understand the ONE star on each side of the helmet. the ONE start is the LONE star, I guess the football ball field since it has a star in the middle of field and stars in the endzone that is wrong too?

A really tough question : why do the colts have horseshoes on their helmets?
And what is with the wings on the eagles helmets, that is stupid.

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

I actually like the Star on the helmet, and I happen to think Dallas has one of the better looking uniforms in the NFL too.

Okay, it's time to pull out the gay little blue and white cowboy that was posted way back when.

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

Actually the star has been the symbol of Dallas sense the start of the team. In resent years they where thinking of a new symbol that was until Arington laid that hit and Aikman. When they saw Aikman sitting on the bench with that circle of stars going around his head they knew the star was the perfect logo.

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

It's not a star as we know it, it's a pentagram representing the union of the male and female anatomy. The Dallas Cowboys are devil-worshipping perverts!

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

cuz you know like in the cartoons when someone gets hit they see stars.. they knew that Sean Taylor was coming way back then so the figured they just as well put stars on their helmet to show the stars since in real life you cant actually see the stars when they get hit byt Taylor.

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

It's not a star, it's a sphincter. Think about it...

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

because homosexuals like stars and shiny shit. I have yet to see a cowboy with horns...

Because all the really cool logos were already taken.

No ... actually the local sheriff's department had the star placed on the helmet as an identification aid for parolees.

Yep, you're right.... [url=http://www.helmethut.com/cowboyindex.html]Index Page[/url]

Even the old Dallas Texans (moved to KC and became the Chiefs) had a star on the helmet. I like theirs better than the Cowboys' helmets.

The Skins have ALWAYS had the best helmets though.

Ok, that was just a Bicentennial tribute in '76, but they DID use our colors. :)

Re: Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?
 

The helmet has a star, because the Cowboys are stars among stars.

We will kick @ss this Sunday!!

The Cowboys have stars on their helmets because they'll be seeing stars after we knock 'em on their backsides this Sunday!

Or maybe they've just done so many mugshots that they're trying to stay on the good side of fine people at the Sheriff's office.
