After much reluctance and debate New Zealand agreed to change for the Tests and New Zealand played in all white for the first time. On the <a href="/wiki/1930_British_Lions_tour_to_New_Zealand_and_Australia" title="1930 British Lions tour to New Zealand and Australia">1930 tour</a> a delegation led by the Irish lock <a href="/wiki/George_Beamish" title="George Beamish">George Beamish</a> expressed their displeasure at the fact that while the blue of Scotland, white of England and red of Wales were represented in the strip there was no green for Ireland. A green flash was added to the socks, which from 1938 became a green turnover (although on blue socks thus eliminating red from the kit), and that has remained a feature of the strip ever since.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBath200877_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBath200877-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1936, the four-quartered badge returned for the <a href="/wiki/1936_British_Lions_tour_to_Argentina" title="1936 British Lions tour to Argentina">tour to Argentina</a> and has remained on the kits ever since,<sup id="cite_ref-Lionsstripes_8-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lionsstripes-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but other than that the strip remained the same. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Red_jerseys">Red jerseys</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=British_%26_Irish_Lions&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Red jerseys"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The adoption of the red jersey happened in the 1950 tour. A return to New Zealand was accompanied by a desire to avoid the controversy of 1930 and so red replaced blue for the jersey with the resultant kit being that which is still worn today, the combination of red jersey, white shorts and green and blue socks, representing the four unions.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The only additions to the strip since 1950 began appearing in 1993, with the addition of kit suppliers logos in prominent positions.

The first British or Irish touring rugby team, a private-enterprise trip to Australia and New Zealand</figcaption></figure> <p>The earliest tours date back to 1888, when a 21-man squad visited Australia and New Zealand. The squad drew players from England, Scotland and Wales, though English players predominated. The 35-match tour of two host nations included no tests, but the side played provincial, city and academic sides, winning 27 matches.

The tourists devastated the Australian teams, winning every single game. Australia also lost all three tests to the visitors, even getting held to a standstill in two of the three games. Though the New Zealand leg of the tour did not take long in comparison to the number of Australian games, the British Isles experienced considerable difficulty across the Tasman after whitewashing the Australians. The team managed two early wins before losing the test to New Zealand and only winning one more game as well as drawing once. Despite their difficulties in New Zealand, the tour proved a raging success on-field for the British Isles. </p><p>In 1908, another tour took place to Australia and New Zealand. In a reversal of previous practice, the planners allocated more matches in New Zealand rather than in Australia: perhaps the strength of the New Zealand teams and the heavy defeats of all Australian teams on the previous tour influenced this decision. Some commentators thought that this tour hoped to reach out to rugby communities in Australia, as <a href="/wiki/Rugby_league" title="Rugby league">rugby league</a> (infamously) started in Australia in 1908.

In the final test at Eden Park the following week, the teams were tied at 15 points apiece with 78 minutes gone. Romain Poite signaled a penalty to New Zealand for an offside infringement after Ken Owens received the ball in front of his teammate Liam Williams, giving New Zealand the opportunity to kick for goal and potentially win the series.
