Inspired by the block work of American Revolution Era war forts in the area as well as the home supporters section of their stadium, New England Revolution have unveiled their Secondary Jersey for the MLS 2021 season, aptly named ‘The Fort’.
The Fort is New England Revolutions’ dedicated supporters’ section at Gillette Stadium, housing both the Midnight Riders and the Rebellion, and with their new jersey for the MLS 2021 campaign the club pay homage to it. The kit design features a fort-inspired blocked white shirt with a monochromatic Revolution logo, white shorts, and sky blue socks.
The Fort has been the heartbeat of Revolution home games dating back to Major League Soccer’s maiden campaign in 1996. From section 2 in Foxborough Stadium to sections 141, 142, and 143 in Gillette Stadium, Revolution supporters draw immense pride from their status as MLS originals amid the league’s rapid expansion.
And so the shirt pays tribute accordingly, and the split Three Stripes branding on the sleeves and shorts, featuring a dark navy trim on one side and sky blue trim on the other, is unique to the Revolution, as is the blocked design on the shirt. The colours of the split represent the colours of the water and the sky that surround the war-era forts throughout New England. A staple of every Revolution kit, the flag of New England remains on the back neck location of the jersey, while a custom jock tag also pays tribute to the Fort’s sections 141, 142, and 143. In addition, UnitedHealthcare returns for its 11th season as the club’s kit sponsor.
