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.

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

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...

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?

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.

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.

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

That's the spirit...

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

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.
