On Saturday, New England Revolution supporters lifted their latest tifo, which honored 10th-year player Chris Tierney. It was a creative design that was greatly appreciated by the defender.
Once a rarity in New England, tifos have become more frequent in recent years. To learn more about the process, we spoke to Secretary of the Midnight Riders Matt Zytka, who helped create Saturday’s artwork.
The Bent Musket (TBM): To start, give us a little background about yourself. Who are you? How did you get involved with this project?
Matt Zytka (MZ): I’m the Secretary of the Midnight Riders, and you can usually spot me on the capo stand during the first half of home matches.
