The color is black. The material is soft and stretchy, so they seemed comfortable to wear. The back pockets are decorative. My child liked wearing these, so there are some faded areas on the elastic waistband and a small fraying of thread in the center of the right leg. Overall, they show some signs of wear. There is no name written on them. I am also listing these on other sites, so they may be suddenly removed if they are sold elsewhere.
