The start of the NFL season always comes with a little shell shock. However, Dallas Cowboys fans have been waiting in earnest for the team to suit up again since it suffered a humiliating loss to the No. 7 seed Packers at home in the first round of the playoffs.
While it's not rare that the Cowboys will start the season on the road, it's a bit odd that they've traveled all the way to Cleveland in Week 1.
The Browns are a unique opening opponent and while the first game won't define how Dallas' season will turn out, their violent style of play is the best-possible test for a Cowboys team that has largely struggled against that brand of football.
For Cowboys fans who are making the trek to Cleveland and want to stand out from the Browns faithful who will undoubtedly be decked out in orange and brown, it would help to know what jersey that Dallas is wearing.
Which jerseys are the Cowboys wearing in Week 1 vs. Browns?
The Cowboys will start the 2024 season with their traditional white jersey. It's a classic look and one of the sharpest in the NFL. However, fans are a little disappointed that Dallas isn't kickstarting the new campaign with a little more flare.
Many fans prefer the Cowboys' navy uniform, but that would clash with Cleveland's traditional brown jersey with orange helmet and white pants. It also ruled out their alternate jersey, which will only be worn once this season.
As the road team, Dallas must defer to the Browns. Both teams donning dark-shaded uniforms would be a huge eye sore and making an already-difficult sport even more complicated.
The Cowboys could have gone with their adored all-white arctic jersey, but those are typically saved for special occasions, like primetime or rivalry games.
At the end of the day, there is no reason to lose sleep over what uniform Dallas is wearing. They still have one of the nicest jersey collections in football. The only thing that should determine your sleep schedule is the result of the game, win or lose.
