Do the Atlanta Falcons hate that Rihanna loves the Carolina Panthers?
On Saturday, shots of the global pop superstar donning a Panthers-themed dress made their rounds on Twitter. As later noted by Carolina Blitz editor-in-chief Vashti Hurt, the piece—from Malian/Senegalese designer Lamine Badian Kouyaté—is part of XULY.Bët’s fall 2023 collection.
Carolina fans went crazy when they saw Rihanna rocking a vintage Panthers jersey. Here’s more info on the look:

Predictably so, the organization and its fans were extremely excited over the music and fashion icon sporting the Carolina black and blue. But the look and its subsequent reaction definitely caught the attention (and feelings) from a divisional foe . . .

We’re not going to lie, Atlanta. That’s a pretty witty reply and one heck of a callback.
But, uh, that look may be a bit out of style. RiRi, through a stroll through John F. Kennedy International Airport, wore that throwback Chris Chandler jersey way back in May of 2015.
Nonetheless, even if the Panthers are more “in” at the moment, maybe there’s room for a few teams under Rihanna’s umbrella . . .

. . . eh, eh, eh.
