Back in the 80s, they used to make nylon seat covers with all those, ahem, fabulous '80s patterns like leopard print and zebra and black-and-white ska checks.
Maybe they have just plain black ones these days.

My Champion fleece knickers bled on one of my saddles! It turned blue. Luckily, the bike is blue, so it's not that bad. I tried a bunch of products, but nothing really worked. Over time, it has faded a good bit. I've washed the knickers a bunch of times and they still bleed when they get sweaty, so I figure that I can only wear them on that bike now. Then the saddle gets a new coat of blue. It always seems to fade again later, but I don't think it'll get really white again.

I think everyone has stated the obvious questions. My 09 Trek has white handlebar tape (white seat came off right away--after nasty rubbing). I knew it wouldn't last, but DH thought it looked "cool!" It's filthy (I don't know how--I wear GLOVES when riding!) I'll stretch it a few more months, then change it to something "cooler." Either red or red/black leopard print?
