The New Zealand team is popularly known as the Black Caps or All Blacks. All their sports personalities are also known by that name. The national rugby team of New Zealand is known as All Blacks.
The All Blacks don an all-black attire in their matches. Their shirts have a silver fern in the front and numbers at the back. Adidas is the maker of their uniform and their logo is there on the shirt. In the beginning the New Zealand team's dress was completely different. During their 1884 tour of Australia, they donned a dark blue shirt with gold fern on its left side.
The All Blacks Shirt is the most famous in the world of rugby. Due to the all black nature of their dress they are easily recognizable on the pitch. Recently the Black Caps have added an embroidered poppy on their shirt sleeve while playing against France. They did that in order to honor their brave soldiers who have laid down their lives on the battle grounds of Europe.
Most of these shirts have a collar with buttons on the top. Previously, the rugby shirts were made of cotton but synthetic is mostly used nowadays. The reason for this change is that synthetic is cheaper than cotton. Polyester is also used as it is very difficult for the tacklers to grab.
