ARCTIC COWBOYS: Dallas to Wear All-White 'Color Rush' Uniforms vs. Eagles in Week 14
It's no secret that next week's matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles is one of the biggest games of the season in the NFL, but it could also be one of the best-looking in the uniform department.
According to the uniform schedule, the Cowboys are set to break out their all-white color rush uniforms for the second time this season when they host the Philadelphia Eagles on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 14.
The other instance this season where the Cowboys deviated from their traditional looks also came in primetime, a Week 6 match with the Los Angeles Chargers on "Monday Night Football."

Dallas has one of the most-recognizable brands in the National Football League, and its uniforms are a big boost to that end. The Cowboys are the only team in the league who consistently wear white jerseys at home, and even the idiosyncrasies in the shade of blue used in their uniforms have become synonymous with pro football tradition.
Still, it never hurts to mix things up on occasion, but even when Dallas pivots from its typical threads, it still pays homage to uniforms of the past. Do these 1994 uniforms with the "shoulder star" ring a bell?

Throw in a white helmet and pants, and you've got a modern take on one of the most classic uniform designs in NFL history.
What would make this NFC East heavyweight bout even better is if the Eagles would break out their "Kelly Green" throwbacks again, but let's not get too greedy. Even Philly's current uniform set is pretty solid, and under the primetime lights at AT&T Stadium, it'll be hard to complain about the uniform aesthetics on the field.
Of course, there's also the game itself to consider. A win on Sunday night would vault the Cowboys to first place in the NFC East, and that would really cause quarterback Dak Prescott's MVP candidacy to gain some steam.
Perhaps Dallas will take the adage "look good, feel good, play good" to heart this week. It certainly can't hurt.
