Dallas Cowboys Merchandise Always Popular
Posted on August 8, 2010Dallas Cowboys merchandise are among the best-selling in any sport, but especially prevalent among football fans, even those whose first-choice favorite may very well be another team. That’s because the Cowboys are one of the most successful and storied outfits in all of football history, and it is memories of this kind that are evoked by all the many forms of Dallas Cowboys merchandise available on the market, from clocks and towels to clocks and even license plates!
Perhaps the most popular form of Dallas Cowboys merchandise to be found on fans and collectors are team jerseys, especially those bearing the specific roster number of their favorite player. After that, however, must surely be those products bearing pictures, photographs or illustrations, of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders! No other team in American sports fields a cheerleading squad that is a veritable franchise in itself. It was intentionally created to capitalize on female sexuality and boost in-game attendance, and its genius was to offer an “All-American” look and feel that played well not only nationally but around the world as well. For many foreigners, a real American girl was someone like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, fun and fit. In the United States, their popularity lead to two made-for-TV movies about the squad along with other media like annual swimsuit calendars.
Oh, yes, and as for the team itself – it was the first modern-era expansion team, and can boast of many distinctive achievements as a business entity. But of course, no one buys team merchandise on the basis of business innovations, and even the venerable cheerleaders would be just another squad were it not for the club’s stellar performances on the field. Founded in 1960, just a decade later the team turned into a serious national contender, and by the end of that decade was the undisputed “glamor team” of the entire sport, with a cheerleading squad that epitomized what an American girl should be like and winning players and coaches who embodied American can-do.
