AboutDuke Ha 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 I make annual trips to see the Cowboys at Texas Stadium. I have a library of Cowboys books, dvd's and VHS tapes. I have recorded nearly all games dating back since the 1998 season. I am an artist, so most of my collections such as cards and photos are not for value, but rather for reference. I appreciate the asthetics of the Cowboys and the game of football. As a hobby, I customize and paint McFarlane Dallas Cowboy figures to near exact detail as their live counterparts. I own several game used items, autographs, and roughly 10-12 authentic jerseys with 3 different manufacturers.
Publications I have no known publications. However, as of October 16, 2006, my written work and art has mostly been seen on the Wikipedia topic the Dallas Cowboys- uniforms/logos.
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.

Question My son, 12 yrs old, is a big Cowboy's fan and as a gift I want to paint our gameroom the team's colors. Can you help me out with the color names (or color codes) and where I can find the paint (like Home Depot or Lowes)? Thanks!
Answer Wow..that is great, I want to do that as well one day in a game room for my own home. According to the Dallas Cowboys Media Guide, the Cowboys official colors are:
Silver(PMS 8240) - "helmet and away pant color"
Blue(PMS 282) - "away jersey color"
Royal Blue(PMS 661) - "home jersey colors along with white"
Silver-Green(PMS 8280) - "home jersey pant color"
* PMS - Pantone Matching System
I believe any hardware store can help you match the paint tones you're looking for...Home Depot and Lowe's especially since I believe it was their ad I saw advertising such a thing while watching a game. Good luck and let me know how it turns out. Take care, Happy Holidays, and thanks for asking.
