Why is there a Star on the Cowboys helmet?

cowboykiller89 · 09-13-2006, 10:10 PM

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?

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

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 like 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!

Who cares? If you don't care then why did you bother replying? GTFO

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

I suppose, but you are missing the point of this thread, it's meant to get the trash talkin started, not to dig back into actual Cowboy history to find out the real reason. 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.

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!

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
