Almost just assumed it was meant to be a Thin Blue Line flag because of the colors.

Yeah. I have seen the monochromatic flag referred to as a “no quarter” flag, and initially wondered if that was the intent. Or maybe they just wanted to minimize colors to reduce printing costs.

Intent or not, that’s what it is, the black flag or no quarter flag is one that states I will kill you dead even if you surrender.
Chuds think this means they’re tough manly men, what it really means is a declaration that they cannot be trusted with anything for any reason. It’s broadcasting to the world that you don’t intend to abide by any rules of engagement so it’s best to just blow you off the map pre-emptively. Flying this flag, even if you don’t even engage with an enemy, is itself a war crime according to the Hague conventions.

Most often seen on an Under Armor t-shirt with the word FREEDOM next to it.

If they wanted to minimize color/printing costs, they wouldn’t color the whole box black.
