This was an initial proposal, with the same colors in a slightly boring horizontal triband:

green-yellow-black-triband

Another proposal rearranged it a bit, but was discarded as too similar to the flag of Tanganyika, which seems quite reasonable, since they did not know that problem would be short-lived:

flag with green-yellow-black-yellow-black horizontal stripes

In the end they went for the saltire, which seems like a great choice, creating a more unique and interesting design.

    Such a stupid subset of conditions. Am the best athlete in the world, who is about age, lives in my city, has keys to my doors and spends time in my room most of the day. Yay! Germany’s flag is also the only one which doesn’t have green or blue, is horizontal, in northern Europe and speaks german.
