I was just doing some research and came across this. I thought it was pretty interesting.

Maybe add some knowledge for you football Jersey collectors.


Batman (60's TV Show) would even have influence in the sports world. During the height of the show's popularity, the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_Steelers)--a team that rarely experiments with uniform changes--unveiled new uniforms influenced by Adam West's Batman outfits. The uniforms were introduced for the 1966 NFL season (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_NFL_season), and had gold triangle-like diamonds on the shoulders of both the black home jerseys and white away jerseys. However, the jerseys turned out to be very unpopular and, coupled with consistent losing, were discarded in 1968 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Pittsburgh_Steelers_season) in favor of the team's current-style uniforms.

I'm thinking of a show that clearly had an influence on the current Cowboys team.

Just need to Photoshop in Jerry, Dough Boy, Romo and The Cancer
