The Scots were once again involved in Tom Smyth's 1910 team to South Africa. Thus, dark blue jerseys were introduced with white shorts and the red socks of 1908.{{sfn|Bath|2008|p=76}} The jerseys also had a single lion-rampant crest. The 1924 tour returned to South Africa, retaining the blue jerseys but now with shorts to match. It is the 1924 tour that is credited as being the first in which the team were referred to as "the Lions", the irony being that it was on this tour that the single lion-rampant crest was replaced with the forerunner of the four-quartered badge with the symbols of the four represented unions, that is still worn today. Although the lion had been dropped from the jersey, the players had worn the lion motif on their ties as they arrived in South Africa, which led the press and public referring to them as "the Lions".{{sfn|Bath|2008|p=1}}

The unofficial [[1927 British Lions tour to Argentina|1927 Argentina tour]] used the same kit and badge,<ref name="Lionsstripes" /> and three heraldic lions returned as the jersey badge in 1930.<ref name="Lionsstripes" /> This was the tour to New Zealand where the tourists' now standard blue jerseys caused some controversy. The convention in rugby is for the home side to accommodate its guests when there is a clash of kit. The New Zealand side, by then already synonymous with the appellation "All Blacks", had an all black kit that clashed with the Lions' blue. 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 [[1930 British Lions tour to New Zealand and Australia|1930 tour]] a delegation led by the Irish lock [[George Beamish]] 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.{{sfn|Bath|2008|p=77}} In 1936, the four-quartered badge returned for the [[1936 British Lions tour to Argentina|tour to Argentina]] and has remained on the kits ever since,<ref name="Lionsstripes" /> but other than that the strip remained the same.
