I got this one when it first released, and just keep wearing it.
Pre-ordered!
Been using the older white Nike pride holes band regularly when I work out or don't use a Hermes band. It's hard to keep it staying completely white over time even with using a magic eraser. Guessing the holes colors don't hold-up and leak.

Now that you've mentioned that. Yeah, Neapolitan is better choice tho. 😍Why not Neapolitan?
If I still owned Apple stock, I'd want to know how much money Apple loses on the "Pride" designs. Do their sales really recoup the development costs?

Profit margins on bands that Apple sells for $49 and up depending on design have got to be in the 500%+ range, if not significantly more.
It's worth bearing in mind that custom bands are what helps sell more Apple Watches (because of the customisation and potential lock-in from amassing a small collection of them over time), and should not be evaluated solely on how much extra revenue they generate for Apple.
