Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Dallas Cowboys have won five Super Bowl championships, after the 1971, 1977, 1992, 1993, and 1995 seasons. Their eight Super Bowl appearances tie them with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, and San Francisco 49ers for second-most in NFL history, behind the New England Patriots' eleven appearances.
As of late 2025, the Dallas Cowboys are valued at approximately $13 billion. In 2015 they became the first sports team in the world to be valued at $4 billion, a record they have extended every year since.
Clint Murchison Jr. secured the Cowboys' franchise in 1959 by purchasing the rights to the Washington Redskins' fight song, "Hail to the Redskins", for $2,500 from songwriter Barnee Breeskin. Murchison used ownership of the song as leverage against Redskins owner George Preston Marshall, whose lone vote against expansion was the only obstacle to Dallas joining the NFL. Marshall traded his vote in exchange for the song rights.
Tom Landry was the Dallas Cowboys' first and only head coach from their 1960 inaugural season through the 1988 season, a tenure of twenty-nine years. He was fired by new owner Jerry Jones in February 1989, replaced by Jimmy Johnson.
In 1989, the Cowboys traded running back Herschel Walker to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for five veteran players and eight draft picks. Though Dallas finished 1-15 that season, the acquired picks were used to draft Emmitt Smith, Russell Maryland, and other core players who formed the dynasty that won three Super Bowls between 1992 and 1995.
General manager Tex Schramm started the white home jersey tradition in 1964 so that Dallas fans could see the variety of visiting teams' colored uniforms. The intense Texas heat during early-season games at Texas Stadium was also a factor. The Cowboys have worn white at home ever since, with only rare exceptions for special occasions.
