So I've always assumed it was depicting a hand that's about to scratch on turntables, but I've never seen an explanation to verify, anyone know for sure?

When Thes first started shopping around for companies to produce the merch at least one (well-known) manufacurer of hats turned him down saying they wouldn't produce anything depicting a "gang sign"...
(If I recall correctly Thes told this story and also explained the origin of the Piecelock name on Peter Agoston's 'The House List' Podcast. Can't remember which one of the 2 episodes it was however, so you'll have to seek it (links) out yourself this time.)
