Dallas Cowboys/Expert Profile


Ask A Question

Expertise

I have extensive knowledge of the 1990's-Present Dallas Cowboys teams. Specifically, team uniforms, equipment, and so forth. I own numerous Cowboys memorabilia and would love to one day write a book on the evolution of the team's uniforms dating back to their inception in 1960. I may not be able to answer most Cowboys questions prior to the 1990's as I was but a youth at the time :-).

Experience in the area

I try to make annual trips to see the Cowboys in Texas every season. I have a library of various Dallas Cowboy books, football cards, player photos, DVD's and VHS tapes. I have recorded nearly all games from 1998-2007. I am also an artist, so most of my collections such as cards, photos, or memorabilia are not for value, but rather for reference. I appreciate the visual asthetics of the Dallas Cowboys and the game of football. As a hobby, I occasionally customize and paint McFarlane Dallas Cowboy figures to near exact detail as their live counterparts. I also own several game used items, autographs, and roughly 10-12 authentic jerseys with 3 different manufacturers.

Education/Credentials

Associates of Arts in Liberal Arts, Associates of Arts in Graphic Design, Bachelor of Arts in Studio Arts with emphasis in Illustration. My dream would be, of course, to work for the Dallas Cowboys organization possibly for their marketing and design team. The Dallas Cowboys annual bluebooks and game programs have always interested me.

What do you like about this subject?

I love my Dallas Cowboys ever since being born in the Lone Star State and my fascination with their uniforms began with the inception of the white Double-Star jerseys in 1994.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

I enjoy helping people and if the knowledge I have, if any, on the subject benefits an individual, then that is my fulfillment. Also about 90% of the artwork ranging from Dallas Cowboys uniforms to the teams helmet on wikipedia.com were drawn by myself personally. Please check out the Dallas Cowboys individual seasons as well (i.e."1992 Dallas Cowboys season").

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Although I do not mind the occasional "repeat" questions, please take the time to review previous answered questions by myself or other experts before submitting a new one. You might find that more than likely, someone else wondered the exact same thing :-).
