Ottawa Senators fans on Twitter have a new rally ritual, inspired by recent photos of pop star Rihanna wearing the team's jersey as a dress.
Rihannaing: Senators fans bare their legs to rally team
There have been stranger rally rituals ... but not many.
Joel Auerbach
Warning: bare legs ahoy.
The craze all started with this tweet from SB Nation’s own Radek Bonk’s Mullet:
#Rihannaing: The only way to get the #Sens out of their slump. twitter.com/BonksMullet/st…
— Radek Bonk's Mullet (@BonksMullet) April 9, 2013
And soon, everybody was getting in on the act.
Men were Rihannaing:
@bonksmullet my legs are tremendous #rhiannaing twitter.com/cwmilner11/sta…

After being convinced by my wife, I give you #rihannaing from #vancouver! Cc: @bonksmullet twitter.com/davidjp87/stat…

Women were Rihanning:
@bonksmullet Just an average Tuesday night.... #Rihannaing with my Chicken McNuggets. twitter.com/MsJessicaDobso…
— Jessica Dobson (@MsJessicaDobson) April 10, 2013
Even pets were Rihanning:
@bonksmullet Reluctant #Rihannaing (it’s not just for people any more). twitter.com/JoNana/status/…

The Senators scored a goal in the third period to tie their game against the Tampa Bay Lightning at two ... but the Lightning got the final goal of the game and won, as the #Rihannaing rally fell short.
Good try, though.
