What does this logo mean?
On the left we see Saul wearing a cheap-looking t-shirt, featuring the American flag along with the words, “These Colors Don’t Run“. This is during the second last episode of Better Call Saul Season 5. While on the right, we clearly see Lydia holding a coffee mug that has the same quote and logo. This still is from the 13th episode of Breaking Bad Season 5.
It is worth noting that these references cannot be some coincidence. Because this was a period where patriotic feelings were at their highest, and Breaking Bad is set just after the events of 9/11. And given that Saul has to maintain his public image as a lawyer, it makes sense that he would wear something like this.
