The jersey of today is made of polyester. In a game situation is twofold: firstly, polyester is harder to get hold of in a tackle situation, as it is inherently more 'slippy' than cotton or a cotton-blend. In addition, the increasing use of skin tight shirts further enhances this effect, as there is no loose material for a tackler to get a grip of.
The first all-black jersey in professional sports is often attributed to the New Zealand rugby team, known as the All Blacks, who have worn their iconic black kit since their inception in 1884. In the context of American sports, the NBA team Brooklyn Nets introduced an all-black jersey in the 2013-2014 season. The trend of all-black uniforms has since been adopted by various teams across different sports.
