That would be the case if you were currently living in South Africa.

For those of you wondering why orange. The colour orange is a national colour in the Netherlands in honour of the Huis van Oranje-Nassau (in English: House of Orange-Nassau), the royal house which comprises the Dutch Royal Family.

Is it a crime against fashion? Possibly. But a criminal one? SCourtT?

Actually the problem wasn't really that they were wearing orange but that it appeared to be a way to advertise a beer company without paying the fees to the tournament to advertise. Thirty models wearing the same dress at a sporting event might tend to get noticed.

Our court system puts prisoners in jumpsuits that color for transporting between jail and the courthouse. A group like that would look like the paddywagon was left unlocked!

Same thing happened last time. They made a guy take off his pants because either they were just orange or they had the beer company's logo on it.

ETA Found the story: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2006/ju ... rldcup2006

So i guess you can't wear a Pepsi shirt to the world cup because I'm pretty sure Coke has the rights, they always have the rights.

Except for the new Consul Arena in Pittsburgh. RC cola has the rights.

One thing about Sea World of Ohio that I never liked was that they only had RC.
