New Zealand sports people have always worn Black uniforms. It's a part of the national ID, so it's reflected in the names.

Black Caps for the cricket.

All Blacks + Black Ferns for the rugby.

Tall Blacks for Basketball.

The Black Cocks was mooted as a name for the national Badminton team, but unsurprising got vetoed by the governing body.
