A Dak Prescott jersey is the Cowboys jersey that Dallas fans wear when they want the offence on their back. No. 4 has been the starting quarterback at AT&T Stadium since his rookie season, and the versions we carry cover both halves of his story: the Mississippi State college jersey he wore before the draft, and the Cowboys colourways he plays in now. This guide covers his career, which of those jerseys is worth buying, how the men's cut fits, and how to keep the stitching and patches sharp.
Why Dak Prescott matters to Cowboys fans
Dallas found Prescott in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, which is the kind of pick that usually ends up on special teams. Instead he took the starting job as a rookie, won Offensive Rookie of the Year, and has been the Cowboys' quarterback ever since — the longest run of stability the position has had in Dallas in a generation.
Before the NFL there was Mississippi State, where he wore No. 15 and became the face of the Bulldogs programme. That is why college jerseys show up in a Dak Prescott search at all: for a lot of fans, the red Mississippi State jersey is the version they remember first, from the seasons that made him a household name in the SEC.
In Dallas he has stacked up Pro Bowl selections and led one of the league's most productive passing offences, doing it in a market where the quarterback is scrutinised more than almost anywhere else in American sport. He plays through injuries, he plays in the Thanksgiving game every year, and he has stayed the starter through coaching changes — which is exactly why his jersey keeps selling. Fans buy No. 4 because he is the constant in a franchise that rarely has one.
Should you buy a Dak Prescott jersey?
A Dak Prescott jersey is a smart buy if you want a Cowboys jersey that will still be current in five years. Prescott wears No. 4 in Dallas and has started at quarterback since his rookie season in 2016, so his name and number do not depend on a single season going well. At the time of writing, Cowboys versions in our warehouse are $69.95 and the Mississippi State college versions are $70.00, all in a men's cut with stitched lettering. Buy the navy or white Cowboys jersey if you want the version he actually plays in; buy the red Mississippi State jersey if you or the person you are shopping for followed his college career. Skip it only if you only collect defensive players or throwback numbers. The men's cut is generous, so your usual shirt size gives a relaxed fit over a hoodie.

All of the Dak Prescott jerseys we carry are men's cut. They are cut generously through the chest and shoulders because they are designed to go over pads or a hoodie, so your usual shirt size gives you the relaxed game-day look. If you want it close to the body, size down one; if you plan to layer it over a sweatshirt in December, stay with your normal size. Women typically order one size down from their usual men's size, and it is always worth measuring a jersey you already own across the chest rather than guessing between two sizes.
Stitched jerseys last years if you treat them properly. Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, never with bleach and never with fabric softener, then hang to dry — the dryer is what curls numbers and cracks nameplates. If the jersey needs a press, iron it cool on the inside only, and keep the iron off the twill and the patch entirely. The white Cowboys jersey also benefits from being washed separately from navy, because dark dye bleeding is the fastest way to ruin a white jersey.
How to style a Dak Prescott jersey
The navy version is the safe everyday pick: it works with jeans, dark joggers and almost any sneaker, and it does not show stadium spills the way white does. The white jersey is the cleaner summer choice and pairs well with light denim and shorts. If you are dressing for a Thanksgiving game, the blue-and-gold edition is the one people will recognise instantly. For the rest of the roster, browse the full Dallas Cowboys jersey collection, and see how other players' versions compare in our NFL jersey guides.
Because the Dallas blue is dark, a plain white or grey tee underneath keeps the jersey looking sharp without competing with it, and a fitted cap in team colours finishes the outfit without overdoing it.
Frequently asked questions
What number does Dak Prescott wear?
He wears No. 4 for the Dallas Cowboys. His Mississippi State college jerseys carry No. 15, which is why the number is different on those versions.
Are the Mississippi State jerseys official Cowboys merchandise?
No. They are college jerseys for Mississippi State, where Prescott played before the NFL. They are a separate part of his story and are listed at $70.00, slightly different from the $69.95 Cowboys versions.
Do the Dak Prescott jerseys have stitched numbers?
Yes. The lettering, numbers and patches on the jerseys we carry are stitched rather than heat-pressed, so they hold their shape as long as you wash cold and skip the dryer.
Which Dak Prescott jersey is best for a gift?
The navy Cowboys jersey is the safest gift because it is the colourway he plays in most often and it suits almost everyone. The red Mississippi State jersey is the better pick for a fan who followed his college career.
