New Zealand Badminton

The New Zealand rugby team, which is one of the best in the world, is known as the All Blacks.
The other mens sports played in New Zealand have names with reference to the All Blacks. For example, the cricket team is the Black Caps, softball is the Black Socks, and the men's basketball team is the Tall Blacks. One of my friends from work was telling me that the men's badminton team name followed suit and was named after the shuttlecock used in badminton. I thought for sure it was a joke, but apparently not. See for yourself...only in New Zealand, I guess:

    Nate,
    Reminds me of a statue we saw in the Cayman islands of a pirate named Big Black Dick. I've got a couple new posts on my blog. Check them out.
