Here is the law

Hunter Orange
Firearm hunters must wear a cap made of solid
daylight fluorescent orange or an outer garment
containing at least 200 square inches of fluorescent
orange material visible from all sides at all times
while engaged in hunting. A camo-orange hat alone
is not adequate.
This applies to all persons while hunting with a
firearm for deer, bear, rabbit, hare, squirrel, coyote,
fox, railbirds, and game birds including while in
a tree stand.
Exceptions: this law does not apply to waterfowl,
crow, wild turkey, coyote/fox (during the special
permit season, page 61), woodchuck nor bowhunters
except that a bow hunter using a deer decoy
must wear hunter orange, as described above,
while transporting the decoy into and out of the
woods and fields. During the Six-day Firearm
Season, it is recommended that bowhunters wear hunter orange.

I was stopped by a warden one year and he was carrying a swatch of florescent orange because he said that your florescent orange as to be a certain brightness other wise it is no good. So if your old hat is faded from being washed or siting on the dash you will get a ticket for not having adequate orange.
