The term “America’s Team” came from the title of an NFL Films piece on the 1978 Cowboys team. I’m A Mountaineer On Saturdays And A Cowboys On Sundays shirt. Which won its fifth (and last) NFC title under coach Tom Landry before falling to the Steelers in Super Bowl XIII. At the time, the Cowboys were clearly the most popular team in the nation and had begun reaching a level of popularity across the world. QB Roger Staubach was a poster boy for all that was good about sports, with his athletic skills also being highlighted by his personality and a clean lifestyle that was a polar opposite of some of the more popular athletes of the 1970s. The sport was also on the verge of overtaking baseball as the nation’s most popular sport.

Why were the Dallas Cowboys America’s team?

And the success of the Cowboys helped make them the flagship franchise. For the NFL despite the fact, the Steelers and their four Super Bowl titles made Pittsburgh the most successful team on the field during the period. Another factor working in the Cowboys’ favor was, well, the cheerleaders. Dallas was defined not just by Landry, Staubach, Drew Pearson, etc., but also the lovely ladies on the sidelines. Everyone wanted a piece of the action with the Cowboys’ cheerleaders, who ended up having two ABC movies made about them along with an appearance on The Love Boat.

The rise of sports television, especially Monday Night Football I’m A Mountaineer On Saturdays And A Cowboys On Sundays shirt. Also fueled the rise of the Cowboys as “America’s Team,” a tag that hasn’t quite gone away years later and is obviously getting a revival of sorts behind the franchise’s current 10–1 start. Why has it stuck over the years? Plain and simple: the Cowboys are a hell of a lightning rod. Either you like them or hate them with all your soul, and the fact they are owners of the best record in the NFL at this moment only stokes those emotions. The Cowboys are like the Yankees, Duke basketball or Manchester United in that there is no in between when it comes to how fans feel about them.

To be honest, the success of the Cowboys makes the NFL a better place I’m A Mountaineer On Saturdays And A Cowboys On Sundays shirt. So when they’re actually playing like “America’s Team,” it’s a beautiful thing. The Dallas Cowboys were lovable losers under Tom Landry’s often befuddling coaching. Implementing the “prevent defense” against the Packers, in the infamous “ Ice Bowl”, is but one example. The Cowboys had a dominating defense that day, and only Landry’s implementation of the “prevent defense” managed to make heroes out of Chuck Mercein and Jerry Kramer. Vince Lombardi crowned “genius”. And the Packers became the greatest team ever. The better team, the Cowboys, were just another foil.

Don Meredith got the blame, like always, and eventually retired. That left Craig Morton, and an older rookie, former Heisman Trophy winner, Roger Staubach. The ever clueless Landry devised possibly the worst system in the history of professional football, the “ quarterback shuffle”. The shuffle meant that the quarterbacks were alternated on every play. Finally, even though everyone else in the entire universe had been aware of it for months, Landry relented and made Roger Staubach, all American boy, the starter. Under his guidance, the Cowboys won two Super Bowls, and lost two other thrillers, to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The ascendancy of Staubach was a major factor in America’s Team I’m A Mountaineer On Saturdays And A Cowboys On Sundays shirt. But I would be remiss not to mention the public relations work done by Tex Schramm. From the formation of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. And their very skimpy outfits, to the incorporation of instant replay into all NFL broadcast. Tex was the promoter extraordinaire. The Cowboys were finally a winner. Wit’s a heroic quarterback from the Naval Academy, and beautiful All-American support from their cheerleaders, they became America’s Team. They came back from adversity to become champions. From rags to riches, what’s more, All American than that?
