When Captain America went openly against the government years back when he was against the Vietnam War (I think), he donned a dark outfit and took the name Patriot.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe that era of the Cap story was him becoming "Nomad". The dark costume, as I recall, was later in the 80's when he was refusing to be a stooge and became the "Captain", wearing the black costume which would later be used by the USAgent (formerly the Super Patriot), who during that time was Captain America's government yes-man replacement.
Clarification, anyone?
