Well, got what it's worth -- and I don't think it's worth much -- I prefer Paladins and try not to use "Dins" much if at all. As an old newspaper guy, it's a "headline word" like "Nats" once was for Senators, "Tribe" for Indians, "Bucs" for Pirates.
Closest equivalents now, I think, are "Dores" for Vanderbilt and "Lopes" for GCU (Antelopes). -- MD

If a team has a 3 syllable mascot name like Paladins, Mountaineers, Commodores or Volunteers, it's more accepable to shorten the mascot name to Dins', Neers', Dores' or Vols. I dissagree with for example, the Loyola of Chicago Ramblers (2 syllable mascot) using Blers' as they do on the baseline of their basketball court. Carry on.

As far as the name goes, I’d be good with two uniform versions - one with Paladins and one with Dins. Alternate. I’m. Not a huge fan of Dins though. Just trying to find a happy medium.

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
