Well in this case I don't it is meant to be a generic symbol and to make sure I looked it up. From their website:
Barker Black’s premiere collection is inspired by an ancient regiment of British guardsmen, the 17th Lancers. The Regiment’s original logo, a skull and crossbones with a banner posting their motto “…or glory” implying ‘Death or Glory’. Discovered in an ancient silk weaver’s archive in Sudbury, England, adopted by Barker Black Ltd. the decommissioned regiment’s motto captures the spirit energy and, sophistication of Barker Black, there is an unmistakable presence of the Lancers in every piece of the Collection.
