Dallas Cowboys Red Helmet Stripe

The Dallas Cowboys will have a red stripe on the their helmets this week. The subtle change honors the U.S. military and the country's National Medal of Honor recipients. This is not the first time the Cowboys have done this with their helmets, during the 1976 season they sported the look to commemorate the United States' bicentennial.

"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." -Charlotte Jones, Cowboys Executive Vice President and Chairman of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation
