What the Classic looks like
The Cowboys list the Classic as one of their two alternate uniforms. The team describes it as a 1960s-era throwback. ColorWay Sports adds the details: a white helmet, a navy jersey with oversized shoulder stars and block numbers, and white pants with navy stripes. Because Dallas is in navy, the visiting Eagles are expected to wear white, though that is a projection and not a team confirmation.
Why the throwback is back
The Cowboys brought the throwbacks back in 2022. The team says it could not wear them earlier because a second team helmet was banned in 2013 under NFL health and safety rules. Dallas has worn the Classic on Thanksgiving every year since, which makes 2026 the fifth straight season. Most of Dallas's other games this year are in white at home.
An old Thanksgiving rival
The last time Dallas hosted the Eagles on Thanksgiving was 2014, a 33–10 Philadelphia win, according to Wikipedia. The two teams also meet earlier this season: the Cowboys visit Philadelphia on Monday Night Football on October 26 in their all-white Color Rush look. Last season, Brandon Aubrey kicked a 42-yard field goal at the final whistle to beat the Eagles 24–21 in Week 12. Aubrey wears No. 17. Browse Dallas Cowboys jerseys for the current players.
The Thanksgiving tradition
Dallas has a long Thanksgiving habit. Wikipedia calls the Eagles game in 2014 the Cowboys' "traditional Thanksgiving home game." The Classic throwback gives that day its own look, and fans of the team have come to expect it each November. In 2026 it is the only throwback on the Cowboys' schedule, since their other alternate, Color Rush, is an all-white modern design worn in three games: September 20, October 26 and December 27.
Players to watch in the jerseys
Quarterback Dak Prescott passed Tony Romo's franchise record for career touchdown passes in Week 2, according to Wikipedia. Receiver George Pickens had 93 catches for 1,429 yards last season. Pickens wears No. 3.
Wearing it on Thanksgiving
Fans pair the Classic with a current player. The Dak Prescott jersey (No. 4) is the quarterback's. For every date and color this season, see the Cowboys jerseys 2026 guide.
Nike makes the NFL's uniforms and has since 2012, so every jersey described here is a Nike design.
The Cowboys and Eagles both play in the NFC East. Dallas's away jersey is navy, so the Classic navy throwback is a special look rather than the road set. Fans call the Cowboys America's Team, and Thanksgiving is the day that name gets the most airtime.
