A familiar look is returning to Fort Scott football in 2026.

After spending the past few seasons in white helmets, the Tigers are going back to red and bringing one of Fort Scott’s classic looks back under the Friday night lights.

The red helmet features the familiar Tiger paw and gives Fort Scott a bold look heading into the new season.

It’s a small change on the surface, but uniforms and traditions have a way of becoming part of a program’s identity. For Tiger fans, seeing the red helmet back on the field will feel familiar.

And with a new season ahead, the Tigers will look to make some new memories wearing an old-school look.

The red is back. Football is back. And another season of Fort Scott Tiger football is here.
