This beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat. The outer dimensions of the framed piece are approximately 17” wide x 24.5” high, although the exact size will vary according to the size of the original piece of art.

At the core of the framed piece is the actual piece of original artwork as painted by the artist on textured 100% rag, water-marked watercolor paper. In many cases the original artwork has handwritten notes in pencil from the artist (be sure to “See the actual artwork without the frame” elsewhere in this website). Simply put, this is beautiful, one-of-a-kind artwork.

The outer mat is a rich textured black acid-free mat with a decorative inset white v-groove, while the inner mat is a complimentary colored acid-free mat reflecting one of the team’s primary colors. The website image of this framed piece shows the mat color that we suggest (Medium Blue), but since each piece is custom framed, we are happy to use whatever color mat you wish (depending on availability) – our standard mat colors are:

Light Blue / Dark Blue / Brown / Maroon (close to brown) / White / Silver / Gold / Yellow (bright yellow) / Green (dark green) / Orange / Purple / Red (bright red, somewhat close to PMS 186)

Beneath the artwork is a silver plate with black text describing the original artwork. The text for this piece will read:

This original, one-of-a-kind watercolor painting of the 2000 Dallas Cowboys uniform is the original artwork that was used in the creation of this Dallas Cowboys uniform evolution print and tens of thousands of other Dallas Cowboys products that have been sold across North America. This original piece of art was painted by artist Tino Paolini for Maple Leaf Productions Ltd.

Beneath the silver plate is a 3” x 9” reproduction of a well known, best-selling print that celebrates the history of the team. The print beautifully illustrates the chronological evolution of the team’s uniform and shows you how the original art was used in the creation of this print. If you look closely, you will see that the print features the actual artwork being offered for sale. The 3” x 9” print looks like this:

The piece is framed with an extremely high quality framing glass. We have used this glass style for many years with excellent results. We package every piece very carefully in a double layer of bubble wrap and a rigid double-wall cardboard package to avoid breakage at any point during the shipping process, but if damage does occur, we will gladly repair, replace or refund. Please note that all of our products come with a 90 day 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Each framed piece also comes with a two page letter signed by Scott Sillcox describing the history behind the art. If there was an extra-special story about your piece of art, that story will be included in the letter. When you receive your framed piece, you should find the letter lightly attached to the front of the framed piece.

If you have any questions, at any time, about the actual artwork or about any of the artist’s handwritten notes on the artwork, I would love to tell you about them. Simply email me, Scott Sillcox, at scott@heritagesportsart.com and I will tell you everything I can about your original piece of art. The artists and I spent well over ten years of our lives creating these pieces of original artwork, and in many cases there are stories I can tell you about your actual piece of artwork that might add an extra element of interest in your one-of-a-kind purchase.

History

As the team ventures into the new millennium, we can see that the Cowboys uniform has undergone some interesting changes: the iconic star has made its way onto the sleeves and a silver/gray stripe has been added to a jersey once synonymous with blue & white.Look very closely and you'll notice a fedora patch on the left chest a symbol honoring the late, great, beloved coach of past Cowboys teams, Tom Landry. Landry, who would helm the Cowboys through thick & thin, was the Cowboys first coach when they joined the NFL in 1960. Landry with his stoic style, would lead the storied franchise all the way until 89, when he was dismissed by new owner Jerry Jones and replaced by Jimmy Johnson. Landry was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1990.A few other items of note on the 2000 uniform: If you look closely at almost all NFL uniforms worn from 1991 on, you'll note a small NFL shield patch on the jersey's neckline. Most NFL uniforms added the NFL logo patch to the neck, and to the upper left thigh of the pants, beginning in 1991. The only major exception to this practice was in 1994 when the teams wore their throwback uniforms in these instances, as is the case here, the teams did not wear the NFL shield patch. Also added was the star and word Cowboys below the NFL shield on the neck. Many jerseys by this time also had elasticized sleeves (especially wide receivers) to help prevent defenders from using excess, loose material to their advantage!On a final note, if you take a gander of all 11 showcased Dallas jersey groupings on this poster, you'll see something fascinating, the Cowboys iconic star logo has undergone very minimal changes since the teams inception back in 1960. The star originally had no border, but by 1965, a thin white outline had been added. By 1967, a second dark border surrounded the star and it has stayed pretty much this way until present day - something not many franchises can boast about!
