I think that DG has been doing their "gam" salute since maybe the late 50s? ADPi "diamonds" have been around a long time too. GPB crescents and XO x's I think I have seen photos from the late 80s.

I think the finger letters is something that I started seeing more since the late 90s? Does anybody else know when NPC groups started doing this more? I just don't remember when it started.
