There wasn’t a whole lot to get excited about with this underwhelming slate of NFL games on Thanksgiving, but the Dallas Cowboys’ all-white Color Rush uniforms are definitely on that very shortlist.
This game against Washington will be the only time they wear them all season, so we have to appreciate them while we can. Next week, they’ll be back to their horrendous-looking primary uniforms which feature about a million different shades of blue.
It shouldn’t have to be this way. The Cowboys could wear the far superior version of their white uniforms. I mean, look at this utterly perfect look…
And then look at this Frankenstein-ish set…
Why don’t the numbers and stripes match the star and stripes on the helmet?!?! And what the hell are those pants? They call that weird greenish/silver color “seafoam green.” Whose idea was it to throw green into the mix?!?!
Some strange people on Cowboys Twitter have become obsessed with the color and have even worked up photoshops of a seafoam green “Color Rush” uniform…

Awful.
The Cowboys need to ditch the seafoam green and the royal blue numbers and just go with the one shade of navy blue from the helmet to the pants. That would add some badly needed cohesion to their full uniform set, which features their navy blue tops.
If they make the full-time switch to the white Color Rush unis, the Cowboys would instantly have a top-3 aesthetic in the NFL. This should be second on Jerry Jones’ list of priorities, right behind signing Dak Prescott to a long-term deal.
