NFL Empires: 1926

This is a continuation of my "empire" maps (where victors take the territory of the losers) of the NFL. Different than most such imperial sports 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 seventh season of the NFL, starting where the previous season ended and removing Rock Island and other teams which folded or took a hiatus (distributing their land to neighbors based on distance to "capitals") and adding Los Angeles and other 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). There were 22 teams participating in 1926, more than any other season till the NFL-AFL merger.

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 1926 season:

Kansas City (dark teal) continued its dominance on the map, but their only two home games were against fellow road warriors Duluth (light violet) and Los Angeles (gold), so they never risked much. Kansas City went 8-3, which was good enough for fourth place. Frankford (tan) won the league with a 14-1-2 record, but they only had three road games.

Here is the map before the season started:

Oh look. Hartford was light blue.
