I’d say the Red Cross of St. George on White Field as the Kingdom did before the Union, but that would be too Christian and the Brits are not really a Christian nation anymore.

But that would mean removing the recognition of Northern Ireland from the flag (which is also a Christian symbol), and treating an English flag as if it was a British flag, which would diminish its value as a flag for those cases where England is a separate entity from the United Kingdom.
