I have a couple green / brown shirts and after I wear them with anti persperant and wash them there are orange stains (permanent and bleach-like) in the armpits. I want to know what is it in certain deodorants that I should watch out for to avoid this.

We’re in the dry cleaning business. We see this often. The stains are caused by your deodorant, perspiration or a combination of both. There’s no way to prevent it other than wearing shields under your shirts.
