Hmm. I didn’t know he had a flag, which he is apparently gripping in the image, for the “subterranean pass-way”. Seems like that flag, could a reasonable facsimile be arrived at, be a suitable counter to the Gadsden flag used by the Right. The Left could use a symbol like that.

E: after digging around, he may not have had a flag. The one un the image may have been a prop, nobody has written about any flag he carried, and the SPW flag was a suspect later addition. IOW, there are no verifiable flags associated with John Brown.
