NFL Empires: 1923

Continuing my "empire" maps (where victors take the territory of the losers) of the NFL. Different than most such imperial maps, instead of gaining all the loser's land from a victory home or away, the victor only gets territory for an away victory, and just two-thirds of it (or one-third for an away tie).

This is the fourth season of the NFL, starting where the previous season ended and removing Evansville which folded (distributing their land to neighbors based on distance to "capitals") and adding new teams with new territory (taking a 100-mile radius, except only halfway to a "capital" city of the land the new team is taking).

My data was from Pro Football Reference and most of the logos from Sports Ecyclopedia and SportsLogos.net.

Here then is the map of the NFL empires after the 1923 season:

Canton (red) conquered more territory and won the official championship for the second year in a row. The Chicago Bears (light blue) came in second again, but they played their last ten games of their thirteen-game season at home, so they lost territory this year. Even the 1-10 Oorang Indians (bright green) gained territory ... by never playing a home game. Meanwhile the 8-4 Chicago Cardinals (magenta) fell off the map entirely by playing only one road game all season (against the Bears).

Here is the map before the season started:
