Why don't the Cowboys wear these uniforms anymore?

It's what their true 2nd uniform should look like, why do they wear the white ones so much?

The Cowboys stopped wearing those uniforms after the 1980 NFC title game because it was thought to bring bad luck. Ultimately didn't change anything the following year, but the change of a washed out blue has stuck ever since.

Though insisting that he does not believe in a blue-jersey jinx, Tex Schramm, president of the Dallas Cowboys, says he plans a change in the team's dark-colored football shirts before next season. Schramm, in announcing that the uniform would be redesigned before next season, said he had never been happy with the combination of dark blue jersey and silver pants that the Cowboys wear.
