NFL Empires: 1927

This is a continuation of my "empire" maps (where victors take the territory of the losers) of the NFL. Different than most such imperialist 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 eighth season of the NFL, starting where the previous season ended and removing almost half the teams as the NFL kicked out the poorer members, even the ones who had done well on-field (I distributed their land to neighbors based on distance to "capitals"). The Brooklyn Lions (orange) moved to the Bronx and changed their name to the New York Yankees, so they are treated similar to a new team (They get 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 1927 season:

Duluth (violet) has a lot of land, but they started the season with even more. Cleveland (grayish green) gained the most territory, but they actually came in fourth place. The New York Giants (dark blue) won officially, but they played more at home than away, including a home loss to Cleveland.

Here is the map before the season started:

Quite a change from the end of 1926! Oh look, the Cardinals had some land.
