All Blacks, first toured Britain in 1905. Reference to the team by the name "All Blacks" first appeared during this tour when a journalist covering a match in Devon (for the Devon Echo) refereed to the team as "the players in all black" when describing the game. Prior to this the strip was a navy blue top with white shorts. Then as the tour progressed a London newspaper reported the game and used the now famous name as a descriptor. The history of this name is recorded in the Devon evening mail in the UK.
