Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (1)
Carrie O'Brien Sibley was absolutely one of the seven originals who flipped the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders from hobby to legend back in 1972. She jumped in as team captain that very first season, pom-poms high, fringe skirt swishing through Texas Stadium like she'd been born in it. Picture this Dallas girl with that fresh-faced grit, leading kicks and chants for a squad that barely had choreography-just pure energy hyping a Cowboys team gunning for their second Super Bowl in three years. She cheered for one season, mentoring the rookies while juggling college credits, all for fifteen bucks a game.
Off-field, Carrie's warmth glued those early girls together; she'd later spill stories in that 2018 documentary about the locker-room laughs and the NFL's old-boy skepticism that turned into obsession. Now, the twin twist-her sister Sherrie O'Brien stepped up right after, cheering in 1973 and 1974 seasons with that mirror-image vibe, proving blood runs thicker than pom-poms. Sherry wasn't just a filler; she owned the spotlight, channeling the same sassy precision while Carrie watched from the sidelines, probably grinning like, Told you we'd make history. Together, they book-ended the DCC's wild birth-Carrie the captain who started the fire, Sherrie fanning it till it blazed worldwide.
Fans still swap tales of spotting them at reunions, inseparable even decades later, like living cheer icons who turned a sideline gig into a cultural earthquake.
