Fabric, fit & construction
Every school leavers jersey we print is built to be worn hard — through muck-up day, valedictory, end-of-year camps and years of nostalgia after that. Choose the fabric weight that matches how your year group actually wears their jersey.
Breathable and soft. Ideal for warmer climates or year groups planning summer graduation events.
Balanced weight that wears like a proper jersey year-round. A solid option for schools in variable climates.
Heavyweight rugby-style feel with a premium hand. Built for years of wear beyond graduation.
Sublimation vs screen print
Every school leavers jersey we produce is dye-sublimated, not screen printed. The design is infused into the fabric at a molecular level, so it won't crack, peel, flake or fade — even after years of washing. Screen print sits on top of the fabric and eventually breaks down; sublimation is the reason our jerseys still look new at ten-year reunions. It also means unlimited colours, photo-quality gradients, all-over prints and small text (like every student's name down a sleeve) at no extra cost.
Stitching & construction
Twin-needle stitched hems and cuffs, reinforced shoulder seams, and a ribbed knit collar with internal taping so it holds shape after repeated wear and wash. The 370gsm rugby weight uses a heavier interlock knit with a woven inner placket and rubber-tipped drawcord — the same construction spec as senior club rugby jerseys.
Sizing range
Mens cut runs XS through 5XL. Kids sizing covers 4 through 14 for younger siblings, staff kids or feeder-school orders on the same run. Every year group gets a physical size set to try on before the final headcount — nobody guesses their size off a chart.
Included at no extra cost
- ✓Student name or nickname + number on the back
- ✓Full-colour school crest and sponsor logos
- ✓Unlimited design revisions until sign-off
- ✓Physical size set sent for try-ons
Custom year 12 jerseys
The year 12 jersey is the one every senior remembers — worn at muck-up day, valedictory and every casual clothes day in between. We build them around your school's colours, crest and the personality of the year group. Every jersey carries the student's name (or nickname) and number on the back.
Senior jerseys
Some schools call them senior jerseys, some call them leavers jerseys, some just say "the jersey". Whatever the language, it's the same brief — a piece of gear that marks the final year and keeps its shape long after graduation. Our 370gsm rugby weight is the go-to for senior jerseys across Australia.
Rugby-style leavers jerseys
For year groups that want the traditional rugby cut — heavier fabric, woven placket, ribbed collar — the 370gsm rugby weight is built for it. Sublimated so the school crest, sponsor logos and stripe patterns are permanent, not stitched patches that lift over time.

First Nations artwork on your jersey
We work with schools that want to feature First Nations artwork — commissioned by or with permission from the artist — on their leavers jerseys. Sublimation reproduces fine detail and rich colour work at full fidelity, and we'll collaborate with you and the artist through mockup, revisions and sign-off. Attribution can be printed directly on the jersey.
Who we make leavers jerseys for
It's not only year 12s. The same design and delivery process works for any graduating group with 10+ people.
The classic — senior year jersey worn from muck-up day through valedictory.
For schools finishing at year 10 or marking the end of junior years.
Standalone senior colleges and years 11–12 campuses across Australia.
University colleges, residences, sporting clubs and graduating cohorts.
What Australian schools say
“The XCD team were on it from day one — mockups back inside 48 hours, unlimited revisions until our year group was happy, and the jerseys landed a full two weeks before valedictory. Every single student loved theirs.”
“We wanted a custom rugby-weight jersey with the school crest and every senior's nickname. The 370gsm feels premium, the sublimation is razor-sharp and the whole ordering process was easy for parents to follow.”
“Third year in a row we've used XCD for our leavers jerseys. Consistent quality, fair pricing, and they proofread every name before print — which caught two spelling mistakes we missed. Highly recommend.”

- What is the minimum order for school leavers jerseys?
- Our minimum order is 10 jerseys. Most year groups order between 40 and 250 — pricing improves with quantity and we're happy to quote your exact numbers.
- How much do year 12 jerseys cost?
- Custom school leavers jerseys start from around $75 per jersey and typically land between $85–$110 depending on fabric weight (220gsm, 300gsm or 370gsm), cut, quantity and delivery timeline. Names and numbers on the back are included at no extra cost.
- How long does production take?
- From artwork sign-off, production and delivery is 6–8 weeks. Add 1–2 weeks for design revisions at the start. If your ceremony date is tight, tell us up front — we can usually work backwards from the date and confirm what's achievable.
- Can we put nicknames on the back instead of surnames?
- Yes. Nicknames, surnames, first names or a mix are all fine — we'll help you check the list against school policy before print. See our guide on what to put on a year 12 jersey for ideas and school-safe rules.
- What fabric options do you offer?
- Three sublimation-ready fabric weights: 220gsm (lightweight, breathable), 300gsm (balanced weight for daily wear) and 370gsm (our most popular — heavyweight, rugby-style with a premium hand feel). All are full-colour sublimated so the design won't crack, peel or fade.
- Do you offer kids and adult sizes together?
- Yes — mens cut runs XS–5XL and we offer kids cuts for younger siblings or staff kids' orders. Everyone in the year group can be measured off the same size run.
- What if we need to change names or numbers late?
- Small changes before we go to print are free. Once production has started, individual replacements can be reprinted on request — we'll always be upfront about cost and timing.
- How much is shipping within Australia?
- Tracked delivery to a single school address on mainland Australia is included in every quote. Split shipments or remote/island deliveries we quote separately — usually a small add-on.
- Do you work with year 10, senior colleges or graduating clubs?
- Yes. We make jerseys for year 10 leavers, year 12s, senior college graduations, university colleges and residences, and sporting clubs. The 10-unit minimum and 6–8 week turnaround apply the same way.
- Can we incorporate First Nations artwork into our jersey?
- Yes, and we love this brief. Send us artwork commissioned by or with permission from the artist — we'll work with you and the artist to place it properly and get sign-off before print. Attribution can be printed on the jersey where you'd like.
- How does group ordering and payment work?
- One coordinator (a teacher, parent or leavers committee lead) locks in the design and the name/size list. Payment can come from the school in a single invoice, or we can share a simple order sheet so each student pays their share directly — whatever's easiest for your year group.
- Are you an Australian-owned business?
- Yes. XCD is Australian-owned and operated. Every jersey is designed and quality-checked here, shipped from within Australia and backed by a local team you can call.
