@Mod Daezhun.
When you graduate from a 'Gymnasium' in Sweden/Denmark (it's pretty similar to graduation from college in USA). You get the option to buy a hat, like the ones we linked.
The hat itself can and will be made by a special company, that by using a specialized computer program, you may choose the design and what it should say, both on the front and back of the hat. It's a tradition here in Sweden, that goes way back to the 19th century.
The price of the hat can be pretty expensive, since we're students afterall. ranging from 50-300 $
Until this very day, i thought this hat only was a tradition in Sweden. But it turns out that Denmark shares that tradition. And a quick google search reveals that Finland also uses this, can't find any info on Norway, but i wouldn't be surprised if they were to use these aswell
Also Mod Daezhun, if you've ever felt like stopping by Scandinavia at some point, i'd recommend, in early June, you'll see a very strange sight, yet a pretty funny one to say the least.

Hats are used in Norway too, however not on the graduation day, but during the period May 1st (or earlier depending on where one is studying) to May 17th (national day), which are spent 'celebrating', partying and whatnot.
Both locally and nationally; There are gatherings for all graduates various places throughout these weeks with the largest one being at Tryvann in Oslo.
We don't have anything like what you've described on the actual graduation day though.
The hats can be red, blue, green or black depending on what one has been studying and they have your nickname on them, which you are given by your fellow graduates. Some may like their names while others might get embarrassing ones.. seeing everyone's reactions when they were given their names on the night to May 1st were funny.
