When training camp opened in Oxnard, Calif., earlier this offseason, the Cowboys unveiled “Arm in Arm” helmet decals, created to pay tribute to the men who lost their lives during the downtown Dallas shooting in July, while also symbolically representing the Cowboys support of the community.

It was a given that the National Football League wouldn’t let the Cowboys wear an “Arm in Arm” decal during the regular season, and that the Cowboys would be permitted to wear the decal during training-camp practices.
Jones said the team respects the league’s decision and its strict uniform policies.
In addition to the decals, the Cowboys also honored Dallas police and the families of the fallen officers late last month.
It was tight end Jason Witten who came up with the idea.
The NFL won’t allow the Cowboys to have helmet stickers honoring slain Dallas law enforcement officers when the team takes the field in the preseason and regular-season.
The league appeared heartless when Williams was fined $5.757 by the NFL for having the words “find the cure” and wearing a breast cancer pink ribbon printed on his eye black.
The Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday that the league permitted the decals in training camp and practice, but rejected the Cowboys’ request to wear them during preseason and regular season games.
