Yes! You nailed it. I think the merch with unlicensed iconic NYC logos was also a great move--did they get C&Ds? Yes. But they had a willing crowd lapping it up, and those legal actions just added to the underdog images.
Yes a crucial detail!! He set himself up in a way that all future attacks (that he rightly anticipated) will eventually benefit him. Very smart manoeuvring. and fact that the colours were inspired by the MetroCard is just top-notch marketing again--a parallel can be drawn to fandom as well with how often pop merch use colours and symbolisms like that.
