I had the same thing in a girls reserve or JV game, back in the first week or so of the season. Thought it was grey, but the coach said it was black, and pulled a roll out of the bag, and demonstrated to me. About a week later, had it in a varsity game, and one of my partners was going to have the whole team change, and I told him don't bother because it's black stretched out. He looked at me like I was looney, so I took a piece of the prewrap and showed him.
