The nickname of the NZ cricket team is, the 'Black Caps'. Some Pakeha New Zealanders might call themselves Kiwis because the kiwi is a bird which is recognised as being an icon for New Zealand, but the use of nicknames based on nationality, culture or ethnicity should be avoidded as it may be considered disrespectful, offensive or even racist.
