Another proposal for the Jamaican flag, submitted by the public in 1962. Alternatively, a flag for the drug desomorphine (a.k.a. krokodil)?

It was probably for the better that they did not go for this flag. It is hard to think anything else than “Russia with a crocodile”. And at least I relate that to the dangerous semi-synthetic opioid desomorphine, common in Russia, and referred to as “krokodil”.

Here’s another proposal used different colors, which I think would have worked better:

Blue-black-yellow triband with black crocodile
