Hoodies with crests given thumbs-up as school uniform

A LIMERICK school has given the thumbs-up to a “hoodie” with crest as part of its official uniform.

The Salesian convent is the first in the country to embrace the hoodie, which is banned in schools throughout Britain.

The convent, however, does not encourage the use of the word “hoodie”, insisting the garment is a “fleece”.
