Kit uniform Since the late 1880s, the New Zealand Kiwis have worn black shirt, shorts and socks which became their representative colors. Black has identified New Zealand athletic teams since that times, starting with the establishment of the "NZ Amateur Athletic Association" (the main body that regulated sports in the country) in 1887. When the Association hosted national athletic events across the country, black was the color worn by the athletes on those competitions. Nevertheless, the first rugby national team had toured on New South Wales in 1884 wearing a blue shirt with a gold fern on the chest, although it changed to black shirt with a silver fern four years later, according to the Auckland Star newspaper of July 6.
