= Flavour singlet of three scalar quarks
If three <quarks> are hypothetically spin-zero <bosons>, their total state is symmetric under particle exchange. In an $L=0$ symmetric spatial state, the unchanged antisymmetric <three-quark colour singlet> therefore requires an antisymmetric <quark flavour> state. With three flavours its space is $\bigwedge^3\mathbb C^3$, of dimension one. The sole flavour state contains one quark of each flavour and has total <angular momentum> zero.
