The Internship Experience Of Caitlin Crawford Dallas Cowboys

By Jaclyn Hurley


The National Football League, also known as the NFL, has many teams that play in the American professional league. One of these teams is the Dallas Cowboys. This team has been around for many decades and has experienced a lot of success in the NFL. Many young people who are interested in the franchise seek to have an internship with the team, such as Caitlin Crawford Dallas Cowboys.

The team originally started as an expansion team back in the 1960s. This was because, at that time, there were very few NFL teams from the south. Since that time, the team has made millions of dollars and competed in many Super Bowl championship games.

In 1964 the team decided to simplify the uniform to what it is today. They changed the jersey and socks to a solid color with horizontal stripes on the sleeves. The white jersey has dark blue stripes and the blue jersey has white stripes with a black outline. The new team helmet is silver and blue with a blue and white stripe down the center. They decided to keep the blue lone star logo, but added a white border to it. The team pants are silver and blue, with blue and white stripes. Since 1964, the NFL has allowed teams to wear their white jerseys at home.

Before the team was formed, there were no NFL teams south of Washington, DC at that time. There were several disputes at the time between Clint Murchison Jr. And George Preston Marshall, who was the owner of the Washington Redskins. Murchison wanted to set up an NFL expansion team in Dallas, challenging the monopoly that Marshall had in the south. The expansion team was eventually created, and since that time, there has been a great rivalry between the team and the Washington Redskins.

During the second summer as an intern, she attended some of the football camps to gain more experience as a broadcaster. She was able to produce and report on some features and got to interview some of the players. She also worked on creating player biographies and fan interviews.

The logo of the team is a blue star, which represents Texas as the Lone Star state. It is one of the most well known logos today in professional sports. Originally the blue star was only a solid shape until the white line and blue border were added in the 1960s. The blue star is also used by their AFL team, the Dallas Desperados.

The team has a very unique uniform which includes a white home jersey and royal blue socks. Each uniform has numbers and lettering to identify each player. The home pants are a metallic silver color that accentuates the blue of the uniform.

Bill Mercer was another well known commentator on the radio station. When Mercer left the station, Verne Lundquist joined and became their announcer until 1977. Brad Sham then took over as the voice of the station once Lundquist left.
