Ottawa Senators fans are known as being a reserved bunch. With the Senators on a four-game five-game losing streak, they decided a shakeup was needed.

Origins

Rihanna was spotted in LA this weekend sporting a Sens heritage jersey, and for a lack of a better description...no pants. Not only did she wear the beautiful heritage jersey clubbing, she also took the time to put on a mini-photoshoot in her new favourite sweater.

Following in the footsteps of one of the biggest fashion icons in Hollywood, Stuntman Stu, the Ottawa Senators in-house PA superstar, tweeted this photo:

#Rihannaing

Deciding this was a trend worth following, #Rihannaing was created to try to help inspire the Senators. I put out a rally call to Sens Army, and they were quick to respond.

One slightly NSFW photo was excluded, but we'll leave you to hunt that one down yourselves as an extra credit assignment.

We have a winner

The hands-down winner for best #Rihannaing photo so far is by none other than Twitter's Ottawa Senators injury specialist.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>@<a href="https://twitter.com/bonksmullet">bonksmullet</a> Reluctant <a href="https://twitter.com/search/%23Rihannaing">#Rihannaing</a> (it’s not just for people any more). <a href="http://t.co/7v4QqyMOzu" title="http://twitter.com/JoNana/status/321797600330252290/photo/1">twitter.com/JoNana/status/…</a></p>— Jo Innes (@JoNana) <a href="https://twitter.com/JoNana/status/321797600330252290">April 10, 2013</a></blockquote>

Although Jo's pooch wasn't the first to don the red, black, and white

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>I'd just like to remind everyone that even though @<a href="https://twitter.com/rihanna">rihanna</a> wore a @<a href="https://twitter.com/nhl_sens">nhl_sens</a> jersey as a dress...
