The Cowboys of the late 70s actually wore the same pants for home and road games. The color you'll need is Folk Art - Bluebell

For the helmet you can use Folk Art Metallic Silver and for the road jerseys you can use Apple Barrel - Real Navy.

Mike I like Decal Masters choices for the helmet and jersey, but I use Apple Barrel Blue Stoneware for the pants. Enclosed are a couple photos so you can get an idea of the pants color.

Peace,

Don

Don,

Good looking out on that color for the Cowboys pants. I have added it to my paint collection. My former choice was Folk Art - Bluebell. This one works perfectly but actually works only for the early 70s Cowboys of Ditka, Duane Thomas, and Bob Lilly, before the Cowboys went more to the baby blue colored pants of the late 70s through early 80s.
