I’ve always wondered why. Looking forward to the answer. I think it has something to do with a Victory sign from WWII?

In 1972 anybody over 30 years of age thought that the V sign meant "Victory." Winston Churchill popularized this as a symbol during the Second World War and continued to use it as a symbol of positivism throughout his life.
