So, at least three plausible origins for the same phrase. Any others?

Just remembered something else. Coca-Cola was not primarily green. Santa Clause ( Or St Niclaus as he was) was dressed in green, but Coca-Cola changed santa to red clothes because of advertising. Old St Nick\'s been dressed in red ever since

One of the new Privateer Press horses for Khador has only one foot on the ground, does that mean he is not only going to die each game, but also lead his whole unit to the graveyard?
