How did we pick these Cowboys Memorial Day gifts?

We started with the full Fanatics catalog of officially licensed Cowboys merchandise — about 4,600 items as of April 2026 — and prioritized the NFL's Salute to Service collection (the league's official military-appreciation campaign), Americana stars-and-stripes apparel, backyard cookout gear (Memorial Day weekend kicks off grilling season), and patriotic yard and wall decor. The result is 30 picks organized by recipient — the Salute to Service buyer, the cookout host, and the yard-decor fan.

What's the difference between Salute to Service and Americana picks?

Salute to Service is the NFL's official military-appreciation collection — Nike's olive-and-camo sideline collection, branded with the NFL Salute to Service logo, with a portion of net proceeds donated to military nonprofits per the NFL's program. The Nike 2025 Salute to Service Sideline Hoodie at $114.99 is the season's hero piece. Americana / stars-and-stripes picks (the Darius Rucker Collection Americana shirt at $50, the '47 Patriotic Hat at $39.99) are red-white-blue-themed Cowboys gear without the Salute to Service licensing.

What's the right pick for the Memorial Day cookout host?

The 3-Piece BBQ Set at $54.99 is our top pick — embroidered Cowboys graphics on premium grilling tools. Pair it with the Four-Pocket Apron at $49.99 for a complete grilling kit. For a unique celebrity-chef crossover, the Guy Fieri Flavortown Tri-Blend Pullover at $73.99 is a conversation starter, and the Fanatics Tailgate Game Day Essentials Gift Box at $74.99 comes pre-packaged.

How does Salute to Service sizing run?

Nike's Sideline Salute to Service builds (the 2025 Sideline Standard Issue Hoodie) run true to size for men in our experience — order Dad's usual hoodie size. The Lightweight Dri-FIT LS is performance-fabric and runs slim — size up if Dad prefers a relaxed fit. The Youth Salute to Service Hoodie at $89.99 is sized in standard youth ranges (S/M/L/XL).

Does Fanatics donate from Salute to Service to military causes?

Per the NFL's official Salute to Service program, a portion of net proceeds from licensed Salute to Service merchandise is donated to the NFL's military partner organizations, which have included the Pat Tillman Foundation, TAPS, USO, Wounded Warrior Project, and Bunker Labs. The exact donation structure varies by season — Fanatics' product pages list the current campaign's beneficiary on each Salute to Service item.

When do I need to order to get it by Memorial Day?
