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 1977 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. 1977 was a Super Bowl winning season for the Dallas Cowboys.

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:

History

Led by stars such as Roger Staubach, Drew Pearson, Randy White, Ed Too Tall Jones and rookie sensation Tony Dorsett the 12-2 Cowboys take care of business by clearing out the 12-2 Broncos 27-10 to capture the 1977 Super Bowl their second in a row. To date the Cowboys have won 5 Super Bowls, making them one of only two teams in NFL history to win 5 Super Bowls (the 49ers are the other team to turn the trick).Of note: The Cowboys are one of the few NFL teams to wear white uniforms at home and white uniforms on the road just one of the peculiarities of one of the NFL's most popular teams. This is one of the reasons you see so few pictures of the Cowboys in dark uniforms. And did you know that many Cowboys road opponents force Dallas to wear their blue uniforms by choosing to wear white at home (typically home teams wear dark uniforms!)? This stems from Dallas Super Bowl V loss to the Colts in 1970, in which the Cowboys developed a superstition about their dark uniforms.Once again, note that the jersey has reverted back to having the players uniform number appear on the top of the shoulder vs the sleeves.
