I like the road purple unis but think it’s time for some new white home unis. Just not a huge fan of the DINS jerseys.
Agreed, not my favorite either. I've never been a fan of the 'Dins' nickname.

Affirm agrees 1,000% about the ‘Dins’ nickname.
We’re not Dins.
Clemson is not Gers.
Wake Forest is not Cons.
Tennessee is not Teers.
Wofford is not Riers.
Duke is not Vils.
Notre Dame is not Rish.
Etc.
Furman is not Dins and Furman is not Pals either.
Furman is Paladins.
The ‘Dins’ nickname needs to be dumped yesterday.

Wofford is not Riers.
Duke is not Vils. - BUT THE “BLUE DEVILS” ARE OCCASIONALLY JUST THE “DEVILS”

Official Team nicknames are frequently shortened for fun and/or column space.

It seems to be an odd nit to so stridently pick. But you are not alone. FUBeAR hears quite a few of his older pals make similar harrumphs about it.

It is funny that younger fans love the DINS and think the FU cheer is cheesy. Go DINS!
Yep. And the younger fans voted for Kamala.
And as it turned out, they are smarter than the older folks!

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
