POSTER SERIES GIVEAWAY

The New England Poster Series highlights six local artists, each from a different New England state, with specially designed matchday posters to be given away to fans at various home games throughout the season.

The fifth poster, to be featured Saturday night when the Revs host Charlotte FC, was designed by Dan Kenyon of Connecticut. Kenyon, who has had a penchant for drawing since taking advanced art courses in high school, taught himself how to paint, exhibiting his work in Mystic and eventually leaving his 17-year career in law enforcement to pursue a full-time career in art three years ago. His paintings reflect the historic beauty of New England and beyond.

MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS MATCH

The Revs will host their second annual Mental Health and Wellness Match on Saturday night, with several initiatives aimed at highlighting the importance of destigmatizing the perceptions around mental health.

Fan Zone will feature a variety of Mindfulness Activities designed to help children learn to recognize and regulate their emotions, including coloring, bubbles, a word search, emotions wall, a scavenger hunt, sensory bins, and mindful breathing.

There will also be an in-stadium vote to name a service dog from NEADS, with Revs-related options like Farrell, Scottie, Taylor, and Turner.

RECENT FORM VS. CHARLOTTE FC

Carles Gil scored the game's only goal as the Revs claimed a 1-0 win in Charlotte on April 26, handing The Crown one of just two home losses on the season. That result continued what has been a run of success for New England in this series, winning five of the last six meetings with Charlotte (5-1-0), including a perfect 3-0-0 all-time record at Gillette Stadium.

The Revs (8-12-7, 31 pts.) picked up another huge road win this past weekend in Columbus, getting first-half goals from Leo Campana and Ignatius Ganago en route to a 2-1 win over the Crew. Winners of two of their last three, the Revs moved to an impressive 5-4-5 on the road this season, and now they'll be looking to find their form at Gillette Stadium, where they have four more games to improve upon their 3-8-2 home mark.

Charlotte FC (15-11-2, 47 pts.) will arrive in Foxborough as the hottest team in Major League Soccer, having rattled off seven straight wins since mid-July, including four consecutive victories without conceding a goal. The Crown have risen to fourth in the Eastern Conference standings while outscoring opponents 12-3 during the current winning streak, largely driven by a smothering defense. While their road record is a more modest 4-9-1, they have won on their last two trips to Atlanta and Cincinnati.

Saturday night's match will wrap up the month of August, before the Revs will kick off September by heading back out on the road to visit Chicago Fire FC next weekend.

SHOW YOUR COLORS

Saturday night the Revs will wear "The '96" kit, unveiled in July as part of the adidas x MLS Archive Collection. Celebrating the style and aesthetic of the late '90s and early 2000s, the Revs are one of 10 MLS clubs featuring new third kits, styled with a matching jacket and Gazelle shoes.

An unapologetic tribute to the club's start in the '90s, "The '96" kit revives the team's original wordmark, bold colors, and front-facing numbers on the pitch. The jersey is primarily Bright Red and features a gradient pattern that invokes the '96 jerseys with a contemporary flair. The retro Revolution wordmark is emblazoned on the shirt's front, while the back features the original MLS logo and "Gillette", the Revolution's primary jersey sponsor since 2025.

The shirts will be paired with Bright Red socks, while the shorts, shirt details, and numerals utilize a refreshed shade of Night Sky Blue.
