Default question

Sorry to bothering you , but I´d like to know how to say the next:
In Spanish they mean more or less the next: To be really loyal to the company where you work. " to put on the t-shirt with the logo" and the other is that everybody believes you are like them. "the lion believes everybody resemled him" Thanksa lot Ma. Elena.

Sorry, but I don't know of a similar expression in English for either one.

The nearest I can come to the second one is "Birds of a feather flock together"

For the first one, I've heard "He's drunk from the Kool-Aid." It's black humor, referring to members of a cult who all killed themselves out of loyalty to their leader by drinking poisoned Kool-Aid. With the passing of time, it's not quite so grim anymore, and can be said quite casually.

I don't have one that fits the second expression.
