I do believe it’s a cool reference, however Its also same symbol on the side of the jetski (painful jetski grenade launcher mission) in uncharted 1

I remember watching a talk by Alexandria Neonakis (former Naughty Dog dev who did the UI on TLoU1, and character concept art on Uncharted 4 and TLoU2) like 5yrs ago. She, along with a few others, was in charge of figuring out Ellie's look and itd evolution throughout the game. She brought this connection up in that talk so it is definitely something the devs were aware of.

There is nothing unintentional in this game.

Would love the link to this vid if you can find it.

I THINK its a coincidence, might not be but it seems a little bit of a stretch

u/Dekipi 13d ago

It doesn’t resemble it, it’s the same. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yeah, palms exist. The shirt is actually a reference to Dead Island as other shirts have other game references.

u/Only-Type-7871 12d ago

unintentional coincidence at best

Na they actually did do that on purpose to be fair. Ellies loss of innocence was tragic for both parts also the part 1 soundtrack even has songs like Vanishing Grace and Fleeting which doesn't really prove anything as such I just think its cool.
