Young College Girl Wearing Sport Jersey

It is common for Australian and South African year 12 students and year 13 students in New Zealand to receive personalised jerseys during their last year at school. These are commonly referred to as a year or leavers' jumpers. They are based on the design of a sport jersey (usually Australian Rules Football or Rugby), feature school colours, the year the students graduate, and a personalised nickname. They are usually worn over the normal school uniform.
In Australia there has been a recent trend with many students now preferring to get Year 12 Hoodies, Jackets or Baseball Varsity style jackets instead of the traditional jerseys.
