The Dallas Cowboys are a National Football League team in the NFC East. They joined the league as an expansion team in 1960, are headquartered in Frisco, Texas, and have played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington since 2009.
The team’s blue star stands for Texas as the Lone Star State and is one of the best known marks in professional sports. Wikipedia notes that the logo has seen little change in decades, which makes it a rare case of a sports identity that has barely moved since the 1960s.
