Here some pictures of a black sport loop on both mySB SS and Hermes SS. Th overall effect is brownish.
For me a good match. Other sport loop colours seem much brighter....which I personally do not like (The midnight blue sport loop is purple).

The 42mm White Strip Woven will look so sweet with my white Ceramic when it arrives

Just got mine today as well - LOVE it... Very very comfortable and soft and actually love the fact that it's not a solid black but made up of various colors - I think this is going to be my #1 after-work band... Doesn't go with my suit and shirts but great with almost everything else
I won't ever give up the original Sport bands for the Sport Loop. I have heard a few people already ponder how long the Loops will last given that they are essentially Velcro...whether or not the Loop may fray at all like Velcro does over time. I personally also do not like the bulk of the part that 'loops' around the one end in the same manner as the Milanese Loop does. Probly going to be preference by individual...the Sport bands are the most comfortable watch band I've ever worn, with and prior to Apple Watch.

The black sport loop band really should be called multi-colored.
They all are and if you look at the official Apple pictures they never really try to hide it
I only think it makes them way more interesting and i think this is my new go to casual band. Very very comfy
Here're some photos of the 42mm Flash Sport Loop.
Looks great paired with a Apple Watch Nike+, Volt (Nike's official color) and Flash both play nice together.

I was waiting to see if someone posted that color band. That looks fabulous with the black watch case.
Did the old Black Woven Nylon change patterns recently? Looking at the Apple Store online it looks different from all the older pictures and videos I see. The current pics on the Apple Store look like the weave isn't as dense.

Haven't got the Olive loop yet because I haven't picked up the watch yet (of course) but I found this photo of one in the 9to5mac review of the watch itself.

I cancelled (maybe I'll reorder if they make a version with color matched loops) and I'm leaning toward seashell since on the silver watch above the looped-over part looks bulky and I already own a black classic buckle. I can always cancel again, I suppose, if I see these in the watch table on Friday and I prefer the black.

I’m at the mall right now and they are telling me they can’t sell the sport loop until Friday. It says pick up today so I just ordered it with the app. See if that works.
Sounds odd. Had mine Tuesday via Apple and it’s amazing. Hands down best casual strap
When I called to see if they had some in stock, the guy told me they could not sell them until Friday as well.
I ordered one at the store across town and it says ready for pickup but I’m never that close to that one. I ordered it from the store here 20 minutes ago but it still says processing.
