rally towel
Waving fan cloth
A rally towel is a small towel distributed to fans at sporting events, waved overhead to show support and generate enthusiasm during crucial moments.
Teams give them out for playoff games or big matchups, creating a sea of coordinated motion in the stands: The whole stadium was waving rally towels when they took the lead.
Also called a terrible towel, after the Pittsburgh Steelers' iconic version.
