    With only two honours to their name, neither being all that major, The Revs' ultimate goals in the near future will be to lift one of the major awards.

    The New England Revolution were a charter member of Major League Soccer representing the Boston area. Since day one in 1994, they have been owned by the Kraft Group and run by Bob Kraft, who is also the owner of the NFL's New England Patriots. The Revs originally played at Foxboro Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, 21 miles southwest of downtown Boston. In 2002, they moved to Gillette Stadium, which was built adjacent to the previous stadium.

    The Revolution have been a play-off mainstay during their time in MLS but have yet to win an MLS Cup or Supporters' Shield. They have made it to the MLS Cup finals five times, including a three-year run from 2005-07, but they lost each time. Their first major trophy was the 2007 US Open Cup, and they won the North American SuperLiga in 2008.

    The Revolution club badge is stylized after the United States flag with the stars made into a soccer ball. There are six stars to represent the six states that make up New England. They have nearly always worn navy kits at home and, since 2014, have matched them with white shorts. The secondary kits were white until 2015 and have been either red or sky blue since.
