The blue star logo of the Dallas Cowboys is one of the most recognizable symbols in all of sport.   Equipment manager Jack Eskridge is credited with designing the blue star logo.  Eskridge, who passed away last year at the age of 89, was one of the first hires by legendary coach Tom Landry before the Cowboys' debut season in 1960.

Symbolizing Cowboys connection to the "Lone Star State", the blue star is prominently displayed on the 50-yard line.   A couple of players from opposing teams have dared to disrespect the star, including a young Terrell Owens - then of the San Francisco 49'ers.   For his antics in flamboyantly celebrating on the star, Owens was decked by the Cowboys' George Teague and fined $25,000 by the NFL.
