Hi, everyone!
Let’s kick things off with a quote from Ryan Reynolds.

It’s almost Halloween, so it’s time to commend the New England Revolution for their spirit this year. I encourage you to click on the tweet and check out the thread, as the social team got individual pictures of the players in costume.
Which costume was your favorite? #NERevs pic.twitter.com/t2X3hSMJKe

I have two favorites, the first being Andrew Farrell as the Pillsbury Doughboy. He gets a perfect score for creativity, because I can’t imagine a lot of other people will be the Pillsbury Doughboy for Halloween. I’m also giving him a perfect score for effot, because that is definitely a hard costume to wear and I appreciate his commitment.

My other favorite is Teal Bunbury, who dressed up as Blue’s Clues & You! host Josh Dela Cruz. This is partly a nostalgic pick because I used to watch the original Blue’s Clues as a kid, but I also appreciate it for its other other qualities. I know it might not be the most unique costume from someone who is the parent of young children who might watch the show, but I think in a collection of male footballers it is unique so he can get some points for that. I also always have respect for a low-key, but not low effort costume — it might’ve been difficult finding a shirt that perfectly fit the Blue’s Clues aesthetic.

There are a lot of good costumes in there, and I think it’s a job well done from the Revolution players.
tl;dr: The New England Revolution players celebrated Halloween with some well done and fun costumes.
