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.

Three takeaways: Fights, penalties take over Game 3, Ekblad shines in Panthers rout of Oilers
The Florida Panthers played their best game of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night in Sunrise. Florida took an early lead and kept their foot on the gas, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 6-1 in Game 3 and taking a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Advertisement What turned out to be a great night for the Panthers was anything but for Edmonton. As the game continued to get away from them, the Oilers resorted to dishing out some questionable hits resulting in the expected fisticuffs. At one point during the third period, every non-goalie player on the ice was fighting. It will be interesting to see how the two teams respond to a game like this, because it's far from what we saw in Edmonton during Games 1 and 2. Let's get to the Game 3 takeaways: PENALTY-FEST Well before the game got out of hand and the misconducts starting piling up, the Panthers and Oilers played a first period that saw more special teams play than even strength. Advertisement A total of eight minor penalties were called during the opening 20 minutes, yet only one power play goal was scored. By the time the dust settled on the night, officials had called a total of 140 penalty minutes. Edmonton finished 1-for-6 on the power play while Florida scored three times while up a man on a whopping 11 opportunities. To his credit, Panthers Head Coach Paul Maurice seemed to downplay the amount of penalties that were called. 'Most of those weren't important, right?' Maurice said. 'The last important ones were around the nine minute mark of the third period. Still, I watched that Vancouver-Dallas game where (Vancouver) scored three goals in a minute, so there's still a hockey game there at the nine minute mark, then we go into the power play. So all the ones after that don't matter.' Advertisement GLOVES WERE DROPPED Generally, you don't often see fights in the Stanley Cup Final. That's what made the third period of Game 3 so strange to see play out. Not only were there multiple fights, but at one point, everyone on the ice not wearing goalie gear was tied up with someone. The Oilers definitely lost their cool during that period. There is no arguing that. But even in moments of such anger and hostility, there is a camaraderie in how the players will stick up for their teammates that makes it pretty cool to see, especially with two teams as tight as the Panthers and Oilers. 'I think you're going to get that answer from any team in the National Hockey League that's playing in June, or we're not here. Both teams,' Maurice said. 'There's so much passion in the game, by the time you've gone on this journey, Edmonton and Florida I believe are the two teams that have been on the longest journey for the last three years. We've both been through it, right? So both teams are going to stick up for each other. They care about each other. The core is pretty much the same for both teams. The drivers of the team are the same for the last three years, so we'll always have each other's back.' Advertisement EKBLAD SHINES The first couple games of the Stanley Cup Final were a little rough on Florida's top defensive pairing. Both Aaron Ekblad and Gustav Forsling struggled during Game 1 and finished a combined minus-4 with no points and just one shot on goal apiece. Game 2 saw Forsling bounce back in a big way, making several spectacular defensive players, breaking up opportunities for Edmonton left and right, and in some very big moments. Ekblad was steady in Game 2, but boy did he look good in Game 3. The smooth skating blueliner appeared more comfortable on Monday night, finishing with a goal on three shots and a plus-1 rating to go with five hits and six penalty minutes. Advertisement 'I thought he was all energy in the first two games,' said Maurice. 'He was covering a lot of ice, and tonight, I thought he was perfectly focused on the game. He was still doing it, but defined in the areas (like) when he was pinching. I thought he played a really smart, veteran game. He's a physical player. He can close the gap now. It's all part of that, Seth Jones and Aaron Ekblad, both of these guys came into the league as offensive players, but there's quite a bit more to their game than that, and (with) Aaron, that's on full display now.'
