The overall of the Y section is black with yellow stripes. People studying biomedical engineering may replace the stripe on the right side for a green one, and students at the international programme usually have a stripe representing their chosen language on the right side.

Your name is supposed to be on the right leg, so that people know who you are. One section path should be placed close to the heart, and one close to the groin. Other than that you place your patches higher up if you like them, and lower down if you like them less. If you do not make it to the party the patch should be put on upside down. One is only allowed to wear the overall cabbed up (i.e. with the sleeves on, not tied at the waist) if the temperature is below zero degrees (Celsius).
