It’s mildly scandalous they’ve only done 9 gooey pink bands, and three of those are Pink Sand/Chalk. We love V Rose and Light Pink, but they are far from saturated and were released basically a decade ago. Maybe 10 if you count Pomegranate?

Hoping there’s room for pink alongside purple, bec it feels like they‘re not done with purple.
They’ve really done a LOT of purple in the past year, so I would expect them to ease up a bit on that colour. Before that it was just Ultra Violet. I predict as a result we won’t be getting another purple in the incoming Spring release, and that maybe a new pink is more likely. Admittedly the iPhone 12 series got all the nice purple colours - the Amythest Silicone and Deep Violet Leather - both were gorgeous shades of purple, pity neither was done as a watch band.

The 13 series got Wisteria and Dark Cherry - both nice in their own right, but I find Amythest and Deep Violet far more compelling (but then again thats taste). Unlike the purples available for the 12, the below two ARE available as Watch Bands (both in the Braided Solo Loop, while Dark Cherry is also there as a Leather Link)

For awhile I looked at how long they did/are doing greens but then I was thinking about how Red S6 occasioned Red Sport Loop with Plum and then Red Sport Loop with Cantaloupe.

So if Red S7 came with a Dark Cherry Sport Loop, does that mean the spring Red-buddy is a pink version of Cantaloupe? Meaning a pink goo band instead of another purple. And does that mean it’ll be faded like pistachio/cantaloupe?

Darker pink chalk?
 
I'm so torn. Do you guys like the Nike Sport Band (Pure Platinum/Black) or Nike Sport Band (Black Volt).
I would like to get the 2020 Pride Sport Band but can't seem to find the smaller model anywhere BNIB.

I'm team Black/Volt, as I recently showed off many many times 😂 I like it in particular with the Space Gray AW Nike because how well it goes with Volt watchfaces (any watchface in the AW Nike has the Volt "shade", not just the Nike watchfaces), and that's the main reason of why I hunted the black/volt so much.
As for the Pure Platinum, I like way more the Pure Platinum/White than the Pure Platinum/Black. My 2 cents.

3rd and last used band purchase for me. Sport Band I get on sheen....but it was listed as only worn 2X. Sheen on band suggest differently.

On the 2 Sport Loops I soaked/washed the helluva out of it. Clean nerd here. LOL, I would rather buy new - not only for the time not spent on cleaning them, but the way the velcro -sticks-...is noticeable.
