Jones laughed off the costume, but it is unclear if the NFL will share the same sense of humor
Billionaire Jerry Jones' wallet could become slightly lighter if the NFL decides to fine him for his Halloween costume.
The longtime owner of the Dallas Cowboys dressed up as a "blind referee" for Halloween.
The costume featured Jones in a striped referee shirt, sunglasses and a walking stick.
"Oh yeah, I had the cane and everything," Jones told Sports Illustrated Sunday in reference to the outfit. "And I used it on some people, too."
Jones seemed to not take the costume seriously, but coaches and team officials are prohibited by the NFL from criticizing referees.
It is possible the league could view Jones’ costume as a violation of certain criteria as it relates to referees.
The NFL has often been nicknamed as the "No Fun League," mostly due to its history of enforcing restrictions, even in cases in which many have argued a more loose approach should have been taken.
"They have a very difficult job in real time," Stephen Jones told "The K&C Masterpiece" Monday. "I do think they understand you can have some humor with this stuff, but I can’t imagine they don’t think there’s nothing but respect that comes out of the Cowboys organization in terms of how difficult their job is and what a good job they do, as well."
