Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Founder, Iconic Visionary Dies In this story: A member of the Dallas Cowboys family has passed away. This week, it was announced that Tyler, Texas native Dee Brock, the founding director of the iconic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, passed away at age 96. Brock was tasked by legendary general manager Tex Schramm with creating a dance or cheer squad to enhance the in-game experience in the 1960s. The vision started as the "CowBelles & Beaux,"wearing white button-down shirts. The current uniforms, which include the white fringe vests and iconic cowboy boots, are so iconic that they are on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. After Dallas won the Super Bowl in 1971, the name was rebranded to simply the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC). Since then, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have blossomed into a globally recognized brand, which has its own Netflix docuseries, America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. The docuseries was recently renewed for a fourth season that will premiere in 2027. After news of Brock's death went public, current DCC director Kelli Finglass issued a heartfelt and emotional statement vowing to continue honoring Brock and her legacy. Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Remember Dee Brock "Today, we mourn the passing of Dee Brock, the founding Director of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and the visionary who helped create an icon.Dee’s leadership, imagination, and unwavering commitment to excellence shaped far more than a team," Finglass wrote on Instagram. "She created a standard, a spirit, and a symbol that have inspired generations and earned recognition around the world.Her influence lives on in every performance, every dream pursued, and every woman who has worn the uniform with pride. "We are deeply grateful for her vision, her courage, and the extraordinary legacy she leaves with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.Rest peacefully, Dee. You will always be remembered, and your legacy will continue to shine." In 2026, America's Sweethearts received Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program and Outstanding Picture Editing For An Unstructured Reality Program. We'll have to see which DCC members became fan favorites when the new season rolls around in 2027.

Dee Brock, original director of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, dies at age 96

Dee Brock, the original director of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders who helped mold the prototype for NFL sideline entertainment, died on Wednesday, the team said. She was 96. Former Cowboys cheerleader Kelli Finglass – now the team’s director – called Brock a “visionary who helped create an icon.” “Dee’s leadership, imagination and unwavering commitment to excellence shaped far more than a team. She created a standard, a spirit and a symbol that have inspired generations and earned recognition around the world,” Finglass said in a statement. “Her influence lives on in every performance, every dream pursued and every woman who has ever worn the uniform with pride. We are deeply grateful for her vision, her courage and the extraordinary legacy she leaves with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.” Finglass added: “Rest peacefully, Dee. You will always be remembered and your legacy will continue to shine.” When the squad was first formed in 1961, Brock according to the team’s history, “utilized high school students with traditional cheers to lead the crowd.” The team added “dance elements” to its game-day routine in 1965, then in 1972 introduced its now-iconic uniforms — boots, short shorts and a fringed, midriff bearing top — which has remained virtually unchanged since. Brock retired in 1975. The team honored Brock in 2022 with a lifetime achievement award, presented as a rhinestone-adorned football. “I hadn’t realized I had made such a good impression, and I’m so happy about that,” Brock told NBC affiliate KETK during the presentation ceremony at her Tyler home. Brock’s advocacy is credited with helping integrate the cheerleading squad. “The kindness that she showed, the encouragement, the warmth to a 16-year-old high school girl, it’s amazing what encouraging words, what kindness can do.” said Eunice Cicero, a pioneering member of the 1965 squad. “Thanks to Dee, I had the pleasure of being one of the first African American cheerleaders for the Dallas Cowboys.”
