The New England Revolution proudly unveiled their 2018 home jerseys late Tuesday afternoon in an exciting-if-hastily planned event in the atrium of the Foxborough Municipal Mall. The new look features a sleek, darker gray charcoal color against the traditional Revolution red, white, and blue.

“We wanted the kit to say something about this team, about its place in the New England sporting landscape,” said Jean Hodges, who led the design of the new threads. “We wanted an instantly recognizable homage to our fans, our heritage, and our team’s future. We think this look says everything you need to know about the New England Revolution in one single, wearable statement.”

As of publication time, a hundred Rwandan children stood waiting along the side of a dirt road for a truck that would never come.
