Vintage 1996 Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl XXX Champions T-Shirt
Fruit of the Loom (Licensed by NFL) · Clothing & Accessories > Vintage T-Shirts
Era / Decade
1996 (Mid-1990s) - Based on the Super Bowl XXX victory and the Fruit of the Loom 'Best' red bar tag visible in the collar.
Material
90% Cotton / 10% Polyester blend (Ash Gray Heather). Significant because it is the 'Made in USA' era of production, which collectors prefer for durability and fit.
Condition
Very Good. The graphics are bright with minimal cracking visible in the photo. The collar appears tight. No major staining or holes visible, though ash gray hides minor wear well.
Demand Level
Strong. The Dallas Cowboys have a massive international fan base, and 90s 'Champion' gears are currently trending in street-wear fashion.
