Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott could be making a rare tweak to his accessories this season. originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
In this age of on-demand viewership - with social media highlights, constant studio analysis shows, behind-the-scenes footage transcending just the game broadcast - football is as accessible as ever.

And naturally, most people's eyes are drawn to the quarterback when they watch. So his on-field "look" is as dissected as any player out there.
Some players take pride in their assortment of accessories, as if they are playing a real-life version of the Madden video game where each arm sleeve and wristband equips a new attribute to their customizable player performance.
Players don't always carefully craft their aesthetic, but die-hard fans tend to notice and care. Especially if the look becomes a signature style for the player after many years.
That is the case for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who has worn the double long sleeve look under his pads for a while now.

Cowboys Nation has grown accustomed to their QB1's appearance, but nostalgic highlights of Dak's breakout rookie season in 2016 offer a different flavor from when he used to rock a default sleeveless look.
For some time, fans have called for Prescott to update his on-field accessories with something new. Maybe this desire is fans' latest delusion that a new look will get the Cowboys closer to a Super Bowl.
Well, Dak may be taking them up on the idea.
At OTAs this offseason, Prescott has been seen wearing one arm sleeve rather than his usual two. His practice attire has cycled through different looks in other summers, but has still led to his traditional game-day fit in the fall, so this shouldn't be looked too much into.

But in a behind-the-scenes video of the Cowboys taking part in "picture day", a subtle tweak to Prescott's look has sent fans into a frenzy, thinking he could actually be making a change for the 2025 season.
These pictures and videos are used for various marketing efforts throughout the season, like posters and hype videos shown on the AT&T Stadium jumbotron during games.
The idea is for players to wear their full uniform as it will look on the field, accessories and all - Overshown is wearing eight arm bands for those counting at home.
However subtle a change, Dak has tweaked his arm sleeve lengths.

Stop the press!
His right arm now features a short-sleeve cut with his left sleeve still at full length. The two sweatbands on his wrist complete the look, but those are pretty standard.
At practice, Prescott has been more experimental with his right sleeve length, being seen letting his arm breathe completely at times.
Maybe having less constriction on his throwing arm will help mobility? Or maybe his accessories have no bearing on his physical performance and it's simply time for a fresh up.
Either way, Cowboys fans are excited about the prospect of a "new-look" Dak.
"One sleeve Dak official 🔥" one fan wrote.

"DAKS AURA OMGGG" another added in appreciation of Prescott's eye-catching change.
"Single sleeve in promotional material???" said another hopeful.
Dak's aesthetic on the field doesn't dictate his performance in anyway, but it could still draw as much attention from crazed fans (and haters) as much as his touchdown total.
Regardless of the level of intrigue, these are the types of things that fill the minds of football fanatics during this offseason lull.
What Cowboys fans should really care about is how much the team increases their win total - not Dak's arm-sleeve total - at the end of the season.
