FRISCO, Texas -- There are some quarterbacks to whom fashion sense appears to mean a lot.

Cam Newton clearly thinks out his outfits for each week. Tom Brady has a supermodel wife, so he will always be dressed to the nines, even when he is not trying to dress to the nines.

Dak Prescott is only seven games into his NFL career, but the Dallas Cowboys rookie has a signature style of his own: the bow tie.

“I think he’s good on it,” George Sherman said. “He’s not a Cam Newton with a feather in his cap and a blazer, but he’s got really good fashion sense. I think he just wants to look good and, more important, he wants to look appropriate.”

Sherman should know. He has become Prescott’s unofficial stylist.

"That's my guy," Prescott said.

George Sherman Clothiers opened in Starkville, Mississippi, in 1973, a half-mile from the Mississippi State campus.

“We started off as a college store, but I’m 66 years old now and our customers, we kept the college kids, but our customers’ age group has gone up,” Sherman said. “I’m waiting on second-generation people as college students now bringing their kids in to buy a Barbour jacket or something like that.”

A week rarely goes by during which Prescott does not text or call Sherman to tell him about a suit he will wear for the upcoming game. Sherman will take a picture of some bow ties and send him a photo. If Prescott likes it, it will be shipped to him the next day.

The quarterback estimates he has about 50 bow ties from Sherman.

“The bow ties were more kind of my look, not a superstition,” Prescott said. “And I kind of forgot how to tie the regular tie I’d been wearing for a few years. I tried to put one on and said, ‘Nah, I’m better with the bow tie.'”

They met in Prescott’s junior year, just before the Bulldogs would ascend to the No. 1 spot in the country. Prescott wanted to look good as the players made the “Dawg Walk,” from the bus to the stadium, on game days.

“We have this big tie rack and above the rack is a bow tie rack,” Sherman said. “He made a comment, ‘Hey, I could wear a bow tie.’ They’re real popular with college-aged students and so when I put it down he just lit up, ‘That’s it. That’s my look.’”

And, yes, Sherman made Prescott pay for the bow ties, knowing NCAA rules.

“All my Ole Miss buddies, when Dak said [recently] on television, ‘George gave me a bow tie,’ they gave me grief,” Sherman said. “He paid for everything. In fact, as he became famous the next year, I pulled the tickets -- that’s when we run a credit card and the name -- and I got all that in case I needed them.”

Prescott has all kinds of bow ties, from regimental stripes to crests to plaids. Last week, Sherman sent him a pink-and-brown paisley.

“He didn’t call it paisley,the field; his signature bow tie -- a look that dates to college -- has turned heads off it.” Sherman said. “He said, ‘I like the pink-and-brown one.’ I said, ‘That’s a paisley.’”

Ezekiel Elliott is Prescott’s roommate on road trips. He is up on Prescott’s bow ties.

"I think it's different,” Elliott said. "It's good that he's a little bit different.”

Veteran cornerback Brandon Carr got involved too, giving Prescott a bow tie made of peacock feathers.

“Authentic peacock,” said Prescott, who has yet to wear that to a game.

Sherman doesn’t carry those, calling them “a little out of the box. ... We’re kind of old, traditional.”

One of the things that has impressed the Cowboys has been Prescott’s ability to learn quickly. He showed in training camp he would not make the same mistake twice. As the regular season has gone on, the Cowboys have expanded their game plans as Prescott became more comfortable in the offense.

Sherman can relate.

As he presented Prescott his first bow tie, he showed the quarterback the correct way to tie it.

“I’ve been in this business 43 years, carried bow ties for 43 years, and nobody ever tied a bow tie perfectly on their first try. He did,” Sherman said. “So that’s anecdotal, but we were amazed. Everybody who works here, we were like, ‘Wow.’

“He was destined to be a bow-tie-wearer.”
