if you read the information on the link i posted earlier (reposted for your convenience) http://www.spiderfan.org/characters/himself/costume/black/index.html that i read after greencapt's reply it appears what you say is correct.
according to that page, he did continue to use the black costume (apparently Felicia made him some out of cloth) and basically used it off and on (depending on the writers preference). at some point he went all black after his last red/blue costume got destroyed. essentially he went back to the red/blue because MJ put him in his place (the page says pointed out that it reminded her of Venom)
he apparently has still worn it a few times (the site lists what comics) the reason being it makes him stealthy at night.
