Imagine a wedding without a cake or a graduation party without leavers hoodies and T-shirts. Impossible! Ever since the 1980s, hoodies adorned with designs and slogans ― invented by the graduates themselves ― have become a symbol of both a strongly felt affiliation with the school and the lure of freedom that life holds in store. This custom was probably adopted from American college students who proudly wear their school’s logo on sweatshirts. And we think it’s a great idea to show what school shaped you, whether it’s based in San Francisco (California) or Salford (Greater Manchester).
