Dr. Black Tape has any easy solution for that one:

Take two, 2-inch, natural colored rubber bands. Color them with a
wide-tipped felt permanent black marker. Voila! You have black rubber bands
that will fit correctly around your black softie and won't advertise the
fact that you are using a Leica.
