When the Cowboys take the field Sunday afternoon for their game against the Broncos, the team will be sporting a look fans haven't seen in almost five decades.
The team announced that for the first time since 1976, they will be sporting a red stripe on their helmets to honor the U.S. military and the country's National Medal of Honor recipients.
Charlotte Jones, Cowboys Executive Vice President and Chairman of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, said in a press release, "This will truly be a special day for all of us as we salute the men and women around the world who protect and defend our country. We are honored to have our Medal of Honor recipients in attendance, representing the 3,508 recipients of the nation's most prestigious military decoration, who made heroic sacrifices, many the ultimate sacrifice, while preserving our freedom. The red stripe on the helmet provides a beautiful ribbon to wrap around this salute to those who currently serve our country's military—and the patriotic love and appreciation that we all share for those who came before them."
The Cowboys wore the red stripes in 1976, that time in order to celebrate the Bicentennial.
