I mean, can anyone else think of even one explanation for that other than "lolit'sjustanaveragebadge?" It absolutely could be a sly reference to the Franklin badge. Although one could argue that if Toby had specifically intended it to be a reference to the Franklin badge, he would have given a bit more description than just "some kind of badge." Especially if he was trying to construct a grand (though secretive) connection to the Mother series.

But granting the assumption, it doesn't get us to the conclusion that the theory is trying to reach. It could be, and more likely is (insofar as it is indeed the Franklin badge), just a small reference to a game that Toby loves.
