Nike Elite 51 Cowboys Uniform Tweak

Description

Dallas Cowboys.

This is the 11th of many uploads for this Nike/NFL tweaking project. For those unfamiliar, the idea is to take each team's current uniform and "tweak" it, but stay in the general range of the current designs. This includes doing things such as: putting aside the striped compression sleeves that I usually add to a uniform that contains stripes on the "sleeves" of the jersey; not just blowing the current uniform up and starting from scratch; not just simply going with a throwback uniform as the solution; and various other new methods that I can't think of at the moment. Every team will be wearing my tweaked version of the Nike Speed Machine uniform. All Nike/NFL uniform tweaks are done with a combination of MS Paint and GIMP.

The Cowboys have some uni quirks that are unique and awesome, and some that should be laid to rest now. The main issue with their current uniforms is that they use at least two different shades of silver, and at least three different shades of blue. It’s inconsistent. I don’t really mind the fact that their “home” whites and their rarely-seen blues are not mirror-images of each other, but the colors need some order. What I did here was streamline everything to ONE shade of blue and ONE shade of silver (both derived from their 1971 Super Bowl season, which was their first Super Bowl title in team history). Everything else stays the same, including their current collar format, which is Flywire for the white tops, and traditional for the blue tops. Home/road uniform is on the left, blue uniform is on the right.
