About

The New England Revolution, founded on 1 January 1995, are an American professional football club from Foxboro playing in Major League Soccer, and Walkouts features signed shirts from their most notable eras and matches.

The club is owned by Robert Kraft and his son Jonathan Kraft, and they stage home matches at Gillette Stadium, 21 miles southwest of downtown Boston. The organisation played at the adjacent, now-demolished Foxboro Stadium from 1996 until 2001, a change that marks a clear dividing line in material provenance for shirts and match items.

On the field the Revs have collected notable honours, including the Supporters' Shield and continental success in the North American SuperLiga, while also contesting MLS Cup finals in 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2014. Their first major trophy was the U.S. Open Cup in 2007 and the club remain one of the original MLS sides active since the inaugural season.

Collectors often target anniversary releases tied to the club's origins and early MLS history, notably inaugural season material from 1996 which celebrates the league launch and the team’s charter status. Shirts linked to milestone campaigns and era themes are chased because they encapsulate the club's transition from Foxboro Stadium to Gillette Stadium and the rise of televised matches under the Kraft ownership.

Season and match magnets for collectors include the runs that led to MLS Cup finals and cup success, with pieces from the 2002 to 2007 period especially popular for their on-pitch associations. Fans also prize retail releases and regional variants; shoppers seek not only match-worn shirts but fanshop retail runs, early production runs and player-issue variants that were sold through club channels or region-specific outlets.

There is a specific demand for the club's away designs given their visibility in decisive fixtures, most notably the classic white away shirt models which accompany continental and cup trips and often surface in photo archives tied to victories. Provenance matters, so framed items and documented retail releases that coincide with the 2007 U.S. Open Cup remain especially sought after by supporters and archivists alike.

For provenance collectors, items connected to finals and named seasons carry the greatest narrative value; signatures with provenance, clear match links and a COA will move to the front of waiting lists. Walkouts lists authenticated items, from the 2005 MLS Cup final era to later appearances such as 2014, and offers Free worldwide shipping alongside clear imagery and condition notes to aid buyers.

Honours

New England Revolution have built a decorated record in domestic and interregional competition. The club claimed the U.S. Open Cup in 2007, a landmark first major trophy that confirmed their status among the leading sides in American soccer. Interregionally, they added the North American SuperLiga in 2008, demonstrating quality against top opposition from across the continent. Regular-season excellence was rewarded with the Supporters' Shield in 2021, underscoring sustained performance over a full MLS campaign.

The Revolution have also been consistent contenders for the league championship, reaching five MLS Cup finals in 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2014. Those appearances frame a long competitive arc, with the 2002 and 2014 finals standing out as bookends to an era of repeated contention. Together, these honours and near-misses reflect a club that has combined durability with peak moments, converting opportunities into silverware while remaining a persistent presence on MLS’s biggest stages.

Stadium

Gillette Stadium serves as the modern home of New England Revolution, set in Foxborough, Massachusetts, around 21 miles southwest of downtown Boston. The venue anchors the club’s identity in the Greater Boston area, offering a flexible stage for high-attendance league fixtures and cup ties.
