Remove "data1" & "data2" recession plot legend

I'm plotting a return series with a recession plot as an overlay. The issue is that the recession "bars" shows up as data1 and data2 in the legend.

How do I remove "data1" & "data2" from the legend?

clear
clc


v = datevec({'31-Jan-2000','31-May-2021'}); 
date = datenum(cumsum([v(1,1:3);ones(diff(v(:,1:3))*[12 1 0 ]',1)*[0 1 0 ]]));
x=randn(257,1);

figure;
plot(date,x);
datetick('x','yyyy');
legend('x');
recessionplot;

The simplest is probably to just wait until all the plots are created before adding the legend.

v = datevec({'31-Jan-2000','31-May-2021'}); 
date = datenum(cumsum([v(1,1:3);ones(diff(v(:,1:3))*[12 1 0 ]',1)*[0 1 0 ]]));
x=randn(257,1);

figure;
plot(date,x);
datetick('x','yyyy');
recessionplot;
legend('x')
