Normally the DCC wear the blue and white uni in the first half of the game then wear the Santa outfits in the second half after the show. The annual Christmas halftime has become quite the extravaganza, complete with music, live recording artists, dance teams and of course the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. The white stars are a perfect touch as they let everybody know that they are the DCC as opposed to any of the other NFL squads who also wear Christmas attire, mostly red and white like the DCC. This look mirrors the blue stars on the traditional shorts without the trademark crystals. After establishing this as their annual Christmas attire, a couple of years back, the DCC decided to add a new twist – white stars attached to the belt with Velcro. ![]() The top is a red velour midriff with a V-cut surrounded by white faux fur. She even incorporated the belt bucket into the shorts. Watson designed the red shorts very similar to the game day white shorts. The gif below shows the ladies taking the field wearing the Xmas dress during one of the halftime shows the squad puts on each December.įormer DCC Terra Watson was called upon to design a new DCC Christmas outfit and she did it with their traditional uniform in mind.Īs you can see above, Ms. ![]() In the late 80s, they started wearing a one-piece red dress with white fur trim. There was a time when the only things the DCC wore to commemorate Christmas were the cute Santa hats pictured above (That’s former Cowboys offensive lineman Nate Newton as Santa). Now lets end it with a little holiday fraternization with Santa Nate Newton and his helpers Tandra Cromer and Amy Lemon. The rule helps keep that reputation in place. Besides, despite Landry’s lamentations, the DCC are widely considered wholesome girls next door. With all of the things that can go wrong between men and women (marital infidelity, unwanted pregnancies, domestic violence, rape/accusations, etc.), it’s probably best to keep the two groups separate to avoid PR nightmares. In my personal opinion, it’s a good rule. In any event, the DCC have done a pretty good job of selling the notion that their players and cheerleaders are strictly platonic.

Top: Rayfield Wright & Jenna Lene Bottom: Charles Haley & Caila MichelleĪnd then there’s the issue (if you can call it that) of former players socializing with former cheerleaders. I guess being a Cowboys great who no longer plays makes “fraternization” OK. Hall of Fame Cowboys seem to always be around the DCC whether it’s being escorted onto the field at halftime events or just taking photos with the ladies. Left: Thomas Hollywood Henderson & Yvonne Silver Right: Danny White & Unknown DCC Hmmmm, I wonder if these things took place before the rule. But I will share the two gems below of DCCs sharing kisses with players on the field. There have been several rumors of cheerleaders who dated Cowboys, but because they are unsubstantiated, I won’t name names here. However, this has not stopped some of the cheerleaders. Of course there is the double standard aspect of the fraternization rule – cheerleaders who break the rule are immediately dismissed while the guilty player is not punished. There have been other instances of players dating cheerleaders when they were no longer with the squad, including former punter Toby Gowin who married former DCC Niki Green after their respective careers with the organization. This union was unique because they were both with the organization at the same time. Former DCC Sonja Samuel married former Cowboy first round pick Kevin Brooks. Training camp is another venue where the players and cheerleaders collaborate to sign autographs for fans, mainly military personnel at Point Mugu Naval Base near their Oxnard, CA camp location.Ĭommunity service and charity seem to be the only sanctioned events for fraternization, but there have been instances when the rule has been broken. ![]() The Cowboys players and DCC often team up to visit Dallas area hospitals to cheer up children and senior citizens who can’t spend the holidays at home with their families. Now that the history is out of the way, lets explore some team-sanctioned instances of cheerleaders fraternizing with players. Despite Landry’s protests, GM Schramm won out and the DCC went on to become America’s Sweethearts and they’re still quite popular to this day. ![]()
