Just trying to find a way to shout or chant something that rolls off the tong with Commanders...
You enthusiastic people have to help me out here, can't find anything...

Seems to me that let's go commanders works just fine.

But how do you chant it with any kind of rythme ? Like the "let's go one-two *clapclapclapclapclap* let's go one-two" that every 2 syllables team uses, or the "go one go! Go one go!" For one syllable teams ?

True, but . . .

Every NFL team has a one or two syllable name. The only exceptions (49ers, Cardinals, Buccaneers, Patriots) clip their name to fit the chant (Niners, Cards or Card-nals, Bucs, Pats). I imagine ours will be clipped to C’man-ders, though I personally like Commies. This opens the door to our defense (or I suppose our offense down the road) becoming the Red Menace and Dan Snyder being That Commie Bastard.

Yeah that's my point, every other three or more syllables team can shorten it's name to one or two syllables. Many people said it before and I didn't really understood why it was a big deal, but now that I'm trying to move on with this name and picture myself cheering for the Commanders, I realize there's no easy natural way to chant this name or a shorten version of it...

I don't really care about the shorten name in itself, I just want ways to cheer this team. Liking the name or not is subjective, I'm not arguing that. I'm just in the position of not being excited by this name one bit, and asking for ways to see myself cheering for them. One thing I've always liked in sports is the connections it creates between fans, whole stadium chanting as one, people in bars shouting and chanting the same things etc... I thought our fight song was really great... So I need things like that to get on board with this new identity, and right now I don't have much.
