Dallas Cowboys Merchandise

The Dallas Cowboys are one of the most revered and prosperous football teams in the nation. They are also the most recognized football team in the US (and internationally) and are listed as the number one most valuable sports franchise in America (Forbes Magazine, September 2, 2009), netting almost $265 million per year in revenue and making it one of the wealthiest teams in the NFL. Dallas has experienced tremendous success in its past and holds a stunning amount of records for its accomplishments (see Important Stats). They continue to be a dominating force in the NFL with winning records nearly every season. With all the victories and successes from this team, Dallas has spawned one of the largest and most feisty group of followers in football that continues to grow each year. Cowboys fans are indeed a force to be reckoned with and are feared by other individuals in the world of fan-dom as passionate and unyielding admirers of this team. With its fierce attitude and plethora of successes, football followers tend to either love or hate the Cowboys: if it's love you feel, then you've found the right place. Read on to see how you can capture the magic from the Cowboys and become a true fan of this legendary team.  

For the Dallas Newcomer

Everyone's got to start somewhere, and if you're new to the world of football it can be quite overwhelming. Some individuals grow up in a fanatical football family (the Green Bay Packers are known for their fan legends) so rooting for their favorite teams, spending time surfing the net for updated statistics, and filling your drawers and bedroom with team paraphernalia may come second-nature. However, not all of us are that lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it!). If you're just getting into football--or have just recently established your obsession with the Cowboys--you'll want to start off slow to ease your way into Cowboy-land. As you begin to follow Dallas's progress through the season and are up-to-date on players, statistics, injuries, etc., you'll want to sport your affection for your team through other means, such as your wardrobe. There are a whole lot of items to choose from--some plain and straightforward and others that are pretty off-the wall--but it's best to start with the subtle merchandise and work your way from there. Check out some of the options for the amateur Dallas fan below.
  • Start out nice and easy with something as simple as a t-shirt.  Clearly, t-shirts are some of the most versatile and durable clothing items in one's apparel collection and they come in youth  and men's  sizes as well as with long sleeves.  There's also a wide selection for the ladies that include tank tops,  long sleeves,  and jerseys. 
  • Hats are a sharp addition to the outfit and give off an athletic vibe. The Cowboys have plenty of hats in basic colors: gray,  white  and navy blue.  If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, go with a hat that has a funky design  or a unique color, such as pale pink  (for the ladies).
  • If you're trying for a more outgoing look, check out some of the Dallas Cowboys Jerseys. Popular choices are Tony Romo,  Marion Barber  and DeMarcus Ware. 
  • Once it starts getting cold out, the sweatshirts,  jackets  and fleeces  come on. If you're on a budget this season, think before you buy: will you be attending more games at the end of the season or the beginning? Do you value your heavier clothes or the lighter ones? 
  • Once you have your basic team products, branch out a bit for something more showy that you could use in everyday life--a backpack,  for example, is a great choice since you can use it for all sorts of traveling occasions.

For the Weathered Fan

If you've been a fan of "The Boys" for a long while and are anxious for some new gear, take a look at some of these unusual choices. These items are more for the hard-core fan with some flashy products that you can use in everyday life to show your Dallas appreciation and some that are just plain out there (maybe you can whip them out for the next tail gate party).
  • If you're a fair-weather lover (but not a fair-weather fan), you'd probably rather hit the beach than the ski slopes. If so, you might want to think about exchanging your old beach towel for one with a Cowboys symbol  on it. Don't forget to bring your fan  to keep you cool.
  • Love the warm weather but are stuck in the north for the winter? Not a problem! Use some Cowboys merchandise to comfort you during those times. Clothe yourself in your comfy pajama pants,  wrap yourself up in a soft blanket,  and grab a cup of hot chocolate when you're watching the next big game.
  • If you're hosting the next barbecue, show off your deep-seated affections for the team with some playful merchandise like an inflatable helmet or goal post.  Put these in your front yard and there is no doubt that your guests know which house is yours. 
  • For the beer-lover, a bottle opener keychain is a must-have. A Cowboys bottle-opener  also makes for a great gift for your fellow fans.
  • With Christmas in the middle of football season, it's an easy time to combine the two. Give the gift of Cowboys spirit with a Dallas ornament  as a stocking stuffer or as a pre-Christmas gift to yourself.

Adorn your House and Home

For the die-hard fan, nothing is better than surrounding oneself with the team that you love. These household items will definitely add some spirit to your home, but it might be good to first check with the missus before replacing that antique lamp she loves so much!

Add a classy wall-clock  to your bedroom, living room, or kitchen so you always know what time to turn on the game.

Keep those pearly whites clean by scrubbing with a Dallas toothbrush.  No one can complain you have a dirty mouth now!

Great for your night-table, a Cowboys lamp  will keep your spirits bright, even if they don't win the Super Bowl this year.

Coordinate your bathroom with a special Cowboys soap dispenser.  Bring your toothbrush and towel along and the set is complete.

Who doesn't love soft, plush pillows? Replace the 30-year old Teddy Bear on your bed with a Cowboys pillow  and you'll still be sleeping like a baby.

Have the Cowboys at your feet by using a Dallas car mat  to keep your car floor spic and span.

Great as a gift or to serve guests, a matching set of Dallas Cowboys bowls  will be sure to spice up any dish.

Fly your colors by raising a Cowboys flag  to show all your neighbors where your loyalties lie.
