It may seem odd for the New England Revolution to introduce a new crest ahead of the MLS playoffs, but I believe it’s perfect timing.
Although the team announced a new crest on Thursday, the Revs will continue to wear their beloved Crayon Flag for the rest of the season. The original mark deserves one last chance at winning an MLS Cup but the new crest deserves the showcase it will get on Sunday.
This weekend’s game against Miami FC is expected to be a celebration of a record-setting season. The Revs will hoist their first-ever Supporters’ Shield in front of a large crowd who will be waving the free flags they were given at the gate.
