When you are looking at the goalie all game, one colour of pads is no different than another. Your brain doesn't notice black pads more than red pads or white pads or whatever, it has already registered the goalie as a recognized item in your field of vision.
The whole topic appears to be mis-applied information I think.
It is similar to the tail light argument, when they added a third tail light in the back window. They added it, then surveyed people to see if it was more noticeable. Well yeah, there's a brand new ####ing red light that wasn't there before. Yes, it is noticeable. However, once used to the light being there, it makes little difference. It's better than it not being there (marginally), but the entire testing of it was horribly flawed.

Well, when your lights are on, with an old car, you have 2 taillights that are on. Hitting the brakes brightens them a bit
In a new car with a third light, it is off when you are driving. Then it comes on with the brakes.
It is really quite different and much more noticeable
