April 26, 2014 (WEEK 8, MLS Game #67) 7:30 p.m. ET (CSN-NE; KMCI-38) Reprising their Eastern Conference Semifinal Series matchup from a year ago, the New England Revolution and Sporting Kansas City meet for the first time this season when the clubs face off Saturday evening at Gillette Stadium. The Revolution are coming off a 1-1 draw at the Chicago Fire last weekend, while Sporting have returned to their championship form of a year ago, extending their undefeated run to five games last weekend with a dominant 4-0 win against the Montréal Impact.

After the Revolution won 2-1 at Gillette Stadium in the first leg, they pushed Sporting to extra time in the return match, before SKC took a 3-1 victory on their to an eventual MLS Cup championship. In league play, Sporting are unbeaten in their last six meetings with the Revolution, and have a 502-minute shutout streak alive vs. the Revolution, their last goal conceded in the series coming July 30, 2011. New England haven’t won in Kansas City since 2008, a 3-1 win April 9. Sporting have six wins in eight home matches in all competitions since, with two draws. Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. NE: P10 W5 L2 D3 … Jay Heaps vs. KC: P5 W0 L3 D2 NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION The New England Revolution stretched their undefeated run to a modest two games, reaching a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire on Saturday afternoon at Toyota Park. The Revolution are in a tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 8 points from 7 games. LAST MATCH The Fire took the lead in the 16th minute when Harry Shipp’s incisive ball from near midfield found Quincy Amarikwa between defenders, and he slid the ball under an advancing Bobby Shuttleworth out of the New England goal. But the Revolution drew level just after the hour. Patrick Nyarko clumsily bundled over Kevin Alston over in the box, and Lee Nguyen converted the resulting penalty low to Sean Johnson’s left. The Fire were dealt a blow in the 73rd minute when Amarikwa, who was booked in the first half for diving, was shown a second yellow card for a reckless challenge on Andy Dorman. But it was the home side that had the glorious chance for the winner, when Alston handled Victor Pineda’s rebound shot in the box, and referee Sorin Stoica pointed to the spot and sent off the Revolution defender. Yet Juan Luis Anangono's shot was far too close to Shuttleworth and the goalkeeper saved it to leave the teams deadlocked. Revolution head coach Jay Heaps made one change to the team that defeated the Houston Dynamo 2-0 at Gillette Stadium. Darrius Barnes came into the back four for Jose Goncalves.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (4-1-4-1): Bobby Shuttleworth - Darrius Barnes, Andrew Farrell, A.J. Soares, Kevin Alston (ejected 89) - Andy Dorman - Saer Sene (Jerry Bengtson 69), Daigo Kobayashi (Steve Neumann 88), Lee Nguyen, Diego Fagundez (Chris Tierney 46) - Teal Bunbury. TEAM NEWS Revolution goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth saved a penalty kick for the first time in his MLS career to secure the draw at Chicago. In his first 49 career MLS appearances, Shuttleworth was unable to stop four penalty kicks. “He came up high on set pieces and crosses and he owned the box,” said Revolution head coach Jay Heaps of Shuttleworth. “He didn’t have a ton of work to do but when he was called upon to make a penalty save he did it right. That’s a huge one.” There are some injury concerns coming out of the Fire match. Diego Fagundez had to come off at halftime with back tightness, but is expected to be available for the Sporting KC match. José Gonçalves was unable to feature vs. Chicago after he was forced off before halftime of the Houston match with a right quadriceps strain and had not yet returned to full training during the week. “With José, we’re still kind of how we were last week: seeing how we’re doing day-by-day. You never want to lose a guy [like that], and now we’ll see how it works this week,” said Heaps. “… [Diego’s] was an issue of high back tightness. Unfortunately, it was inhibiting the way he played. He was in a lot of pain, so we took him out.” Said midfielder Lee Nguyen: “[Diego is] always a dangerous option up top. He’s always constantly moving so it’s tough for opposing defenses to get a read on him. We miss that from him when he’s off the pitch. It’s great if Diego can play the whole game, but if not we do have guys who can come in and help us out a lot.” Chris Tierney came on to replace Fagundez in a wide midfield role, his first appearance in two matches after starting the first five matches of the season, all in the back four. “He gave us a little more width, a little more service. But it takes away a goal scoring threat, even though Chris did a nice job of attacking. We were also able, I felt, close down that left flank with Chris going in,” said Heaps. The Revolution made a significant pickup during the week when they claimed former club icon Shalrie Joseph in a waiver draft after his release by Seattle Sounders FC. Joseph signed with the team ahead of the 2003 season and played 9-1/2 seasons in Foxborough until he was traded to Chivas USA in August 2012. He has made 283 career appearances in MLS – including a Revolution record 261 appearances, with 40 league goals and 35 assists. SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City made it five games in a row without loss in impressive fashion, rolling to a 4-0 win against the Montréal Impact on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting sit in a tie for top spot in the Eastern Conference with 11 points from 6 games. LAST MATCH Sporting were fortunate to take the lead in the 31st minute. From a long throw-in by Sporting's Matt Besler, the ball hit Mallace's head as he tried to clear and looped just inside Troy Perkins' far post. SKC finally doubled their lead in the 71st minute. Lawrence Olum won the ball inside the Impact area and sent it back out to Aurelin Collin, and the big center back curled his left-footed shot inside the near post. Three minutes later, second-half substitute Jacob Peterson sent in a long cross from the right corner and Dom Dwyer beat two defenders at the edge of the 6-yard box to knock home a sliding shot. The rout was complete in the 86th when Dwyer completed his brace, running onto Graham Zusi's looping cross and snapping a header down and into the net. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made one change to the team that played to a scoreless draw with Real Salt Lake at Sporting Park. Lawrence Olum came into the team for the suspended Oriol Rosell. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Eric Kronberg - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin (Alex Martinez 76), Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Lawrence Olum - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber - Sal Zizzo (Jacob Peterson 66), Dom Dwyer (Claudio Bieler 87), Graham Zusi. TEAM NEWS Sporting extended their undefeated streak to five games in a row (3-0-2). They have scored seven goals in the last three games; they have recorded shutouts in three of the last four. “When you don't give up many goals and you have the kind of players we have in our attack, you can defend and keep clean sheets and get a lot of points over the course of the season. They were very good but I always say that it starts from the front and goes to the back,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “Our pressure was very good tonight, it was very difficult for them to find time and space on the ball. I think that's the biggest reason we got a clean sheet.” Dom Dwyer scored his first career two-goal game in MLS in the win against Montréal. Dwyer has four goals in his last four games.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
“It was some performance. We are pleased with the clean sheet and a lot more goals than two weeks ago. It was a good result for us and obviously we are pleased. It gives us some momentum going into New England next week. We are feeling good right now and had fun,” said Dwyer. Aurelin Collin scored his second goal of the season, his first since March 15 when he scored Sporting’s first goal of the season. “It's a great reflection on one of the best qualities of Sporting KC; the winning and the physical aspect that we have. We can run a lot and we are always looking for opportunities to score. We were managing the game very well and at the end found opportunities,” Collin said. Collin brought himself off with a quarter-hour to go in the match, as Alex Martinez made his second substitute appearance of the season. “He felt a little twinge in his hamstring, and normally guys will try and go a little bit longer, but he made the right decision coming out and not making it worse,” Vermes said. “Hopefully it'll just be a bit of a strain and he'll take a few days and recover.” Graham Zusi recorded his third assist of the season, and has been involved in four of Sporting’s seven goals over the last three matches. With Oriol Rosell suspended after being sent off in the RSL match, Lawrence Olum slotted into the holding role in central midfield, his first start since March 22. “I thought he was very good and at the end, we pushed him back to central defender and that's the great thing about him – he's very versatile,” said Vermes. “The second half he had a very great game because he was a lot more disciplined. Sometimes when your team has the ball a lot you can get excited and get out of position and he did that a bit in the first half.”

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS SPORTING KANSAS CITY
TEAM NOTES DEFENDING CHAMPS HEADED EAST On Saturday, the Revolution will host the defending MLS Cup champions, Sporting Kansas City, in a 7:30 p.m. match at Gillette Stadium … the Revs and Sporting KC last met in the twogame Eastern Conference Semifinals, with the Revs pushing SKC to the brink before Kansas City needed extra time to eliminate them, 4-3 on aggregate at Sporting Park … last year, SKC won the two-game, regular-season season series, 1-0-1, with the teams playing to a 0-0 draw in a cold, blustery afternoon match at Gillette Stadium on March 23, before Kansas City defeated the Revs, 3-0, at Sporting Park on Aug. 10. HOME STREAK ON THE LINE The Revs enter Saturday’s match against Sporting Kansas City riding a five-game undefeated streak at home, dating back to September 2013 … since earning a 2-1 win against D.C. United on Sept. 21, 2013, the Revs have gone 3-0-2 in their last five matches at Gillette Stadium … the last team to defeat New England at Gillette Stadium was the Montreal Impact, who captured a 4-2 win in Foxborough on Sept. 8, 2013, playing up a man for 85 minutes. Match Sept. 21 vs. D.C. Sept. 28 vs. Houston Oct. 19 vs. Columbus March 22 vs. Vancouver April 12 vs. Houston
Result W T W T W
Score 2-1 1-1 3-2 0-0 2-0
FORTRESS FOXBOROUGH The Revolution has played two matches at home so far this season, and is undefeated in those matches going 1-0-1 … the Revs’ .750 winning percentage at Gillette Stadium is tied for third in the league, level with Sporting Kansas City’s 2-0-2 mark … additionally, the Revolution is the only team in MLS that has yet to allow a goal at home this year, having posted back-toback shutouts at Gillette Stadium … the team’s home goals against average of 0.00 is best in the league by one-quarter of a goal, in front of Kansas City’s 0.25 home GAA. LOOKING FOR A WIN … The Revs are 0-3-3 in their last six meetings against Sporting Kansas City … however, because of the league’s unbalanced schedule, four of those meetings came at Sporting Park with only two at Gillette Stadium … of this year’s three meetings, two will be played at Gillette Stadium (April 26 and Sept. 3) and one at Sporting Park (Sept. 26) … the Revs’ last win in the series came on April 23, 2011 – a 3-2 win in Benny Feilhaber’s New England debut. … AND LOOKING FOR GOALS On Saturday, the Revolution will enter the match trying to snap a 501-minute regular-season goal-less streak against Sporting Kansas City … the last regular-season goal the Revs scored against SKC came on July 30, 3011 – Rakjo Lekic’s 38th minute goal in a 1-1 draw at Sporting Park … the Revs went the entire 2012 and 2013 regular seasons without scoring against SKC without a goal … while Andy Dorman, Kelyn Rowe and Dimitry Imbongo each scored goals against Sporting KC last year in the MLS Cup Playoffs, they were postseason goals and do not count against the team’s regular-season scoreless streak. ALSTON OUT ON SATURDAY Kevin Alston, who has been one of the team’s most active and visible players the last two games, will be forced to sit out Saturday’s match against Kansas City while serving a onegame red card suspension … the defender was shown a straight red card in the 90th minute of last Saturday’s match in Chicago after he was adjudged to have handled the ball on the goal line while blocking a shot … it was the first red card of his career. BACK-AND-FORTH SCHEDULE After opening up the season with five of its first seven games on the road, the Revs are now settling into a pattern of home and away games until early June … after Saturday’s match against Sporting KC, the Revs will alternate road and home matches until the MLS World Cup break … next weekend, the team will travel to Toronto (May 3), then host Seattle (May 11), then travel to Philadelphia (May 17), then host D.C. United (May 24), then travel to Montreal (May 31) before hosting New York (June 8) ahead of the two-week break … the Revs still have 15 home games remaining, but only 12 road contests. “NGUYENNING” PENALTY KICKS Lee Nguyen converted his fourth penalty kick as a member of the Revolution last Saturday, leveling the team’s match at Chicago in the 31st minute … after Kevin Alston drew the penalty, Nguyen stepped up and converted against Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson … Nguyen is now four-for-five in penalty-kick attempts in his MLS career and is tied for fourth on the club’s career penalty kick chart. STOPPING PKS HELPS, TOO While the Revolution converted a penalty kick last Saturday, goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth
also stopped one of his own – the first PK save in his MLS career … Chicago was awarded a penalty kick at the start of stoppage time, and a successful conversion would’ve all but handed the game to the Fire … however, Shuttleworth read Juan Luis Anangono’s attempt and made the save, and then immediately made a save on Jeff Larentowicz’s follow-up shot from close range … the double-save is one of this week’s nominations for MLS Save of the Week. 50 APS FOR SHUTTLEWORTH Bobby Shuttleworth’s appearance on Saturday at Chicago the 50th of his MLS career ... he is the third goalkeeper in club history to make at least 50 appearances: Matt Reis (254) and Jeff Causey (64) ... Shuttleworth began his career with the Revs in 2009 and made his first appearance in 2010 ... the sixth-year goalkeeper set career records in appearances (23), starts (22) and shutouts (nine) in 2013. A LITTLE TASTE OF THE EAST Including Saturday’s match with Kansas City, seven of Revs’ next eight games all come against Eastern Conference opponents leading into the World Cup Break ... in 2013, the Revs posted a 12-7-6 record against the East, including a 6-4-2 mark on the road ... the only non-Eastern Conference opponent the Revs face during that stretch is Seattle Sounders FC on May 11 at Gillette Stadium … the Revs enter Saturday’s match with a 1-3-1 mark against Eastern teams this season. HE’S BAAACK Club legend Shalrie Joseph was picked up by the Revolution in the Waiver Draft late Tuesday … the former club captain was waived by Seattle earlier this season and selected by the Revs, leading to a return to his original MLS club … Joseph has made 283 career appearances in MLS – including a Revolution-club record 261 appearances … he has scored 40 career goals and added 35 career assists in the regular season, including 37 goals (to rank fourth in the club’s records) and 34 assists (to rank third in the club’s records) in New England … Joseph was a finalist for the 2009 MLS Most Valuable Player award, and was a four-time MLS Best XI selection and an eight-time MLS All-Star selection. DEFENSIVE FINDING ITS WAY BACK After allowing four goals in the season opener, the Revolution’s defense has been on a steadying course ... while the Revs have a team goals against average of 1.29 after Saturday’s draw at Chicago, New England has a team GAA of 0.71 in the last six games - that includes two shutouts (vs. Vancouver on March 22 and vs. Houston on April 12), three one-goal defensive efforts (at Philadelphia on March 15, at San Jose on March 22 and at Chicago on April 19) and one two-goal match (at D.C. on April 5) ... the team’s 1.29 GAA is 10th in the league, while its two shutouts is tied for fifth ... in 2013, the Revs had one of the MLS’ stouted defenses, allowing 1.12 goals per game (to tie for third in the league) and led MLS in shutouts with 14 - a club record. BACK FOUR IN FLUX THIS SEASON So far this season, six different defenders have seen time along the Revs’ backline and Jay Heaps has used five different starting four-man groupings: Defender A.J. Soares Andrew Farrell Jose Goncalves Chris Tierney Darrius Barnes Kevin Alston
Appearances 7 6 5 5 5 3
Starts 7 6 5 5 2 3
Positions Played CB RB, CB CB LB LB, RB LB
FARRELL FINDS HIS SPOT Andrew Farrell was heralded coming into MLS as one of the league and U.S.’ top defensive prospects, and after a stand-out rookie season, is now making a consistent effort as a sophomore ... Farrell, who played all of his minutes in 32 matches at right back last year, has seen time at both right back and center back in 2014 ... he’s twice been names to MLS’ team of the week - once as a right back and once as a center back - and has been noticeably controlling along the backline this year. THE BEARD BET Andrew Farrell is styling a growing beard, and it’s all because of a bet ... in the off-season, Farrell challenged his brother, Will, that he would grow a beard until he scored his first MLS goal ... after coming oh-so-close against San Jose last year - Jon Busch made a shoe-string stop on a full extension to his right - Farrell is determined to score his first MLS goal this year - or have a growing beard for the season. PLAYING WITH SOME BITE Through week 7 of the MLS season Lee Nguyen is currently tied for fourth in MLS with Real Salt Lakes’ Alvaro Saborio in fouls committed with 16 … Nguyen finished fifth in fouls committed with 62 – and sixth in fouls suffered with 64 – in 2013.
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS SPORTING KANSAS CITY
TEAM NOTES EARLY IRONMAN CONTENDERS Teal Bunbury, Bobby Shuttleworth and A.J. Soares are the Revs’ only three players that have played all 630 minutes this season … Bunbury has seen all of his time on the attack (both at forward and on the right wing) while recording 14 shots, with four on goal … Shuttleworth has started in goal in each of the team’s seven games in goal, while Soares has been a staple at the center back position in each match ... in 2013, only one Revs player played every minute of every game: Jose Goncalves. 50 THE NEXT STOP FOR ROWE If Kelyn Rowe gets healthy enough to crack the starting lineup against Kansas City this Saturday, it will mark his 50th career start in MLS, all of which will have come with New England … Rowe, now in his third year in MLS, has made 65 appearances in three seasons … the midfielder has scored 10 goals and recorded 13 assists in his young career, thanks in large part to a stellar sophomore campaign in 2013 where he led the team in assists with eight and also added seven goals. REVS ARE ONE OF YOUNGEST STARTING SQUADS IN MLS The Revolution’s starting 11 last Saturday against Chicago was the youngest in the league last week having an average age of 25.90 years old ... the Revs fielded the youngest starting 11 through the first three weeks of the season, averaging 25.05 years those weeks.

YES, FAGUNDEZ IS STILL A TEENAGER Diego Fagundez, still a teenager, is now in his fourth year as a member of the Revs ... Fagundez, who turned 19 on Feb. 14, had a career year in 2013, scoring 13 goals (to tie for fifth in MLS) and added seven assists to lead the club in scoring ... the Leominster, Mass., native was also voted team MVP … his 13 goals last season all came from the run of play, and marked the highest season goal total for a teenager in MLS history – and he is the only teenager in MLS history to score 10 or more goals in one season … Fagundez now has 17 goals in his career and holds the league record for goal scoring by a teenager, last set by Eddie Gaven (16 goals).

“ROWEING” TO WINS Kelyn Rowe had one of the more impressive sophomore campaigns of any MLS player in recent history … the 22-year-old scored seven goals and added a team-best eight assists in 33 appearances last year, while developing his now familiar “Roweing” goal celebration … his two-year resume is so impressive that Rowe has already been cited as an upstart candidate for 2014 MLS MVP: “A lot of that falls on the shoulders of Rowe, who has the talent to be an MVP candidate. Seriously: He is one of my dark-horse picks this year…” – Matt Doyle, MLSSoccer. com analyst. SHUTTLEWORTH THE STEADY Bobby Shuttleworth is coming off a career season in 2013, and hopes to parlay that into another successful campaign in 2014 … last year, he made career-highs in appearances (23), starts (22), minutes played (2,063) and saves (64) … after assuming the day-to-day starting role in mid-April 2013, Shuttleworth went on to post some of MLS’ top goalkeeping numbers by midseason and garnered MLS All-Star consideration mid-season … a tall keeper who communicates well and organizes his defenders well, Shuttleworth is now in his sixth MLS season with 50 appearances, 48 starts and a career goals against average of 1.37. SECOND TIME AROUND Brad Knighton has re-joined the Revolution for his second go-round in New England … the goalkeeper came to the Revs in December via trade with Vancouver Whitecaps FC on the same day that club legend Matt Reis retired … in exchange for Knighton, the Revs traded a conditional pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft to Vancouver … Knighton began his MLS career in New England and stayed with the Revs for three seasons (2007-2009), making six appear-
ances and posting a 1-2-3 record … following his initial stint with the Revs, Knighton spent the 2010 season in Philadelphia (3-3-1, 1.10 GAA) after the Union selected him in the Expansion Draft … Knighton played the last two seasons in Vancouver, making 21 appearances while posting a 9-6-5 record with five shutouts. Heaps on the goalkeeping situation: “I think both keepers have shown really well. It’s not one of these things where the day one starter gets named and the competition is over. This competition – and when I say it, it’s a very good competition – both guys root for each other and they know each other well. There’s a kind of support for each other. I think that it’s one of those things that is going to go on all year. It’s not going to be the day one starter, and then whoever it is, he’s the starter for 34 games. I think there’s going to be a battle throughout the season.” TIERNEY’S LEFT FOOT TOPS ALL Chris Tierney, the Revs’ longest-tenured player, is one of MLS’ most dangerous - and accurate - free kick takers ... the left-footed Tierney topped Opta’s list of most accurate free-kick takers since 2011, as published by MLSSoccer.com early in 2014 ... his average deviation off target of 7.81 degrees bettered second-place Jeff Larentowicz ... Houston’s Brad Davis - considered by many the top set-piece taker in the league - had a variance of 13.24 degrees off target. “HOMETOWN” FEEL ON THE ROSTER Four players on the Revs’ roster – and the head coach – are New England natives, giving the team a true hometown feel: Scott Caldwell Braintree, Mass. Charlie Davies Manchester, N.H. Diego Fagundez Leominster, Mass. Chris Tierney Wellesley, Mass. Jay Heaps Longmeadow, Mass. Both Caldwell and Fagundez played for the Revolution Academy and are Homegrown players … Tierney and Davies played together on the Boston Bolts, before playing collegiately at Virginia and Boston College, respectively … Heaps, who was born in Nashua, N.H., and raised in Longmeadow, Mass., has been a member of the Revolution organization for 14 seasons now, as a player, broadcaster and now head coach. ROCHESTER AFFILIATION RENEWED The Revolution and the Rochester Rhinos (USL PRO) have renewed their partnership that makes the Rhinos the official USL PRO affiliate of the Revolution … this is the second year of the teams’ affiliation and is one of the founding partnerships of the MLS and USL PRO relationship that launched in 2013 to help further the development of professional soccer in the U.S. and Canada … the agreement calls for the Revolution to loan a minimum of four players to the Rhinos for the season … Rochester head coach Bob Lilley joined the Revolution in Bradenton, Fla., for a part of its 12-day training camp to observe players and collaborate with the Revolution coaches. SMITH FOURTH PLAYER LOANED TO ROCHESTER Donnie Smith became the fourth player loaned to the Rochester Rhinos, the team’s USL PRO affiliate, on April 23... goalkeeper Luis Soffner, midfielder Alec Sundley and Jossimar Sanchez joined the Rhinos earlier this year... the Revs can re-call any of its players at any time. JULY 12: NEW ENGLAND’S FITNESS EVENT OF THE YEAR International fitness star Shaun T – the creator of best-selling fitness programs INSANITY, Focus T25 and Hip Hop Abs – will make a special appearance at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, July 12, when he leads a live workout on the field before the New England Revolution hosts the Chicago Fire later in the evening … Special ticket packages start at $85 and are on sale now through revolutionsoccer.net/shaunt … packages include a spot in the live workout, a Q&A session with Shaun T after the workout, a meet & greet and group photo session with Shaun T, access to a reserved tailgate area between the workout and the Revs match, and a midfield seat for the Revolution match … special package options are available for fitness fans who want to be closer to Shaun T and work out in the first 10 rows. #OURFRIENDCLYDE Former Revolution midfielder Clyde Simms retired from professional soccer in early 2014 because of his battle with kidney disease ... while he was one of MLS’ most consistent players for nine seasons during his time with D.C. United and the Revs, kidney disease ended Simms’ career that also included a look by the U.S. National Team ... Clyde’s disease - Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) – has now progressed to the point that he needs a kidney transplant ... the usual waiting time for a suitable kidney match is about four years, and many people on the waiting list don’t have that long before needing to go on dialysis – including Simms ... people interested in donating a kidney first need to contact a donation center and be tested ... to be tested to see if you are a match to help Clyde – or other people waiting for a kidney match – please contact Massachusetts General Hospital’s Living Donor Program at (617) 643-7193 ... more info: www.revolutionsoccer.net/OurFriendClyde.

Long before the sewing of the American flag as we know it -- before there were the United States, and hundreds of years before its slightly-altered stars and stripes emerged on the Revolution club badge – a flag of a different design was flown proudly in the early colonies that now comprise New England. Historic Revolutionary War artist John Trumbull’s depiction of the Battle of Bunker Hill featured a red flag with a green pine tree, which often served as a representation of the New England colonies. While historians argue the exact dates of origin of this early flag, over time, the design stood out as a symbol of honor for the territory. It was a reflection of unification. It’s flown as an homage to the region’s pride and passion.

With such a deep connection to both club and country on many different levels, the flag of New England now adorns the Revolution’s uniforms – both as testament to the region’s revolutionary history, and as a visual representation of the club’s supporters.
Sitting above the players’ last names, the Revolution and supporters alike are reminded that the club holds true to its community’s historic roots in reverence, and continues to proudly represent the historic region of New England, while symbolically bringing the supporters onto the field, each and every game.

HEAD COACH JAY HEAPS HEAD COACH JAY HEAPS Years with Club: 3 Years coaching in MLS: 3 Career Coaching Record: 25-31-18 Postseason Record: 1-1-0 Jay Heaps is in his third season as the head coach of the New England Revolution and his journey to revitalize the Revs as they return to the upper echelon of Major League Soccer continues after a breakout 2013 campaign ... Heaps has installed a new winning attitude and an exciting, possession-oriented playing style that focuses on the team’s dynamic young talent ... after qualifying for the MLS Cup Playoffs in his second season at the helm – and surging up the standings in the final month of 2013 – the Revs are poised for even greater improvement in 2014 ... with the team’s core set to return – one that not only turned heads offensively in 2013, but also sat near the top of the league all season defensively – the Revolution is looking to challenge for Major League Soccer’s biggest prize this season: MLS Cup ... guiding the up-start, re-built Revs to a 9-17-8 record in his first season in 2012, Heaps turned the Revolution around in 2013, taking the team to a 14-11-9 record, 51 points – the second-highest point total in club history – and a return to the postseason ... behind a precocious group of young players – highlighted by Homegrown star Diego Fagundez, Kelyn Rowe (Heaps’ first-ever draft pick) and Andrew Farrell (the number one pick in the 2013 SuperDraft) – as well as off-season signing Jose Goncalves, who ended the campaign as the league’s defender of the year, the Revolution turned heads around MLS ... after stepping away from his 11-year MLS playing career following the 2009 season, Heaps returned as the new head coach of the Revolution in November 2011 ... with his appointment, he brought to the bench some of his hallmark qualities that fans and teammates appreciated during his playing days: spirit, energy, charisma, toughness, passion and tirelessness.

He was signed in the 2014 preseason. * NOTE: The MLS SuperDraft was combined with the MLS Supplemental Draft in 2014. In previous years, the MLS Supplemental Draft was held one week later than the MLS SuperDraft. Only Chris Tierney and Jossimar Sanchez remain on the roster as drafted Supplemental Draft players. All other Revolution college-drafted players were selected in the SuperDraft in the round noted.
