Same as it was unlucky to wear orange in the wrong parts.

Because the opposition would more than likely kill you.

That's bollocks
If you wear orange in South Armagh- possibly the most staunchly republican part of Ulster- then the assumption will simply be that you're a GAA fan.

So what do the railway workers wear?
Orange bibs? Yellow ones?

I'm presuming that they aren't unlucky, otherwise the news would be awash with stories of unlucky railway trackside workers!

A lot of private companies wear hi-vis orange jackets, to distinguish them from the gardai and paramedics etc.
Funny how they keep losing kneecaps, now you mention it...

Same with Northern Ireland's football team
They actually play in orange and the kit is only digitally altered to green before broadcast.
