The Origin of the Phrase section doesn't actually say what the origin of the phrase is. It outlines the reason that there is such a phrase, but not what it actually means. Is there any purple on the uniform? And why is this "purple", and not "orange trades" or chartreuse? The term "purple" doesn't even appear in this section.
