Admit it! Who`s bought a "Boro Santa Hat" or going to buy a Christmas jumper?

Christmas jumper day Dec 7th.
Why are they called jumpers? A pullover I can understand but jumper. :unsure:
From the term jump (“short coat”) in sailors' jargon, of uncertain origin. Possibly from Scottish English jupe (“man's loose jacket or tunic”), from Middle English juype, gype, joupe, from Old French jupe, juppe, from Arabic جُبَّة‎ (jubba); see also jibba.
