7.) Los Angeles Kings
Remember when the Los Angeles Kings had "I Love LA" as their goal song? For a franchise that had Wayne Gretzky as a big part of the Los Angeles sports scene, it made perfect sense. Once he left, it persisted and was a beloved charm in the annals of Kings' history. While Los Angeles didn't win much on the ice, they won with the best Pacific Division horn.
Now, they've ditched Randy Newman and reduced him to writing theme songs for Pixar movies and television shows. What do they have in place? A generic rock song that doesn't have the charm the iconic "I Love LA" song did. Instead, it's muffled rock noises that don't add any personality. Granted, the horn is an iconic staple and fits the franchise perfectly. It's a good callback to the days when Los Angeles was finding their way.
However, this newer version seems like it could make for a WWE theme song. Imagine a pro wrestler coming out to the Kings's horn, only to be in a squash match against Gunther or Jey Uso. It fits that bill perfectly, which is why the Kings should bring back "I Love LA." It would be an excellent callback for the committed fans who've been with the franchise for decades.
