This is an incredible A i Creation!

Had to share it.

It mentions the horned hand signs that Ronnie began using during his stage shows.

We were fortunate to get to meet him twice, after two different concerts in New York. 1998 and 2003. A truly nice person who cared for all of his fans. There's nothing evil about his music, it's just very loud, so loud that D/deafies can feel it to enjoy it.

Rock in Paradise Mr. Dio.

Gone too soon.

Always remembered.

Rock & Roll Tank Tops https://a.co/d/9rQAnN8

Uhhhmmm...

Eerrmmmm...

Just a quick notice, this is not the correct sign for Rock n Roll. This hand sign means "I Love You" in American Sign Language. 🤟 It is combined letters I, L and Y of the fingerspelling, manual alphabet, all on one hand.

If anyone is looking for the actual sign for Rock n Roll, it's usually this sign, 🤘This sign, "malocchio" in Italian or mano cornuta, began a long time ago in Italy, to ward off bad luck or evil spirits, similar to the evil eye talisman or amulet. 🧿

This sign has been used a lot by the late singer, Ronnie James (Padovana) Dio. (Dio, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Elf, Ronnie and the red Caps) In past interviews, (YouTube) Mr. Dio explains how he learned this sign from his Grandmother, who learned it from her childhood upbringing. It's basically known as the Italian Evil Eye, It can also be a part of the Pagan, Heathen, Viking, Christeo-Pagan, Christian Witch, Wiccan religions.

You can also see this sign used by actor, Paul Hogan towards an animal, to help calm it down, in the 1986 movie, Crocodile Dundee.

Hopefully this information helps clear up the confusion between these two hand signs.

Since this hand sign is already printed on these nice tank tops, (not our art) it's possible it could say, "I love you, rock n roll" or "I love you rock n roll institute."

Horned Hand amulet, Corsica Mano cornuta, or ‘horned hand’ amulets are thought to be of ancient Italian origin and are worn as protection against the harmful glance of the Evil Eye. Mano cornuta is one of two hand gestures that are commonly used for this purpose, the second being the mano fica, or ‘fig hand’.

Its earliest use can be seen in India, as a gesture very commonly used by Gautama Buddha as Karana Mudra which is synonymous with expulsion of demons and removal of obstacles like sickness or negative thoughts.
