I'm confused by this. All of the Cotswold Morris teams in the Twin Cities (including the teenage and children's teams) wear all white as their base kit. Here is a picture of the Giant Abram's Circle last Mayday, with all the Twin Cities teams visible in the semi-dark:
Most of the midwest teams use white as the kit basis -- that is, white trousers and white shirt, usually with a vest rather than baldrics or suspenders (which is our team's weirdness). Here's a picture from a massed dance at last year's Midwest Morris Ale:

The all-dark kit is that of the visiting White Rats, from SF.
I suppose 19th-century tradition is really dark knickers, like the St. Louis team wears (visible in that massed dance).
Here I am in Melbourne, dancing with Britannia Morris (and one member of their sister team), also all in white kit:

So I'm not sure why you'd be surprised. Do you mean all-white without mitigating vests of a darker color?
