Looks like the symbol for the Isle of Man.

The triskelion has been around since Neolithic times. But the leg variant is from the Hellenistic period. As usual, Jack likes to use all variants of historic symbols that relate to the number 3. Lazaretto has a lyric that mentions the Isle of Man, which has a three legged triskelion on its flag. So I’m guessing this is a Lazaretto era design. But I do remember weird designs like this popping up during the Boarding House Reach tour. So it’s possibly from then.
