NFL Empires: 1960

This is a continuation of my "empire" maps (where victors take the territory of the losers) of the NFL. Different than most such imperialism 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).

Before the season, the Chicago Cardinals relocated to St. Louis. Also, Dallas joined the league. Both teams gained the land within a 100-mile radius of their new capitals.

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

Here then is the map of the NFL empires after the 1960 season:

Philadelphia (dark green) beat Green Bay (kelly green) in the championship game, but it was a home win, so they gained no land. Detroit (purple) and San Francisco (burgundy) tied for second in the West, while Cleveland (brown) was second place in the East, all with respectable empires. Dallas (sage green) managed to have some land at the end of the year (impressive for an expansion team) thanks to a draw at New York (dark blue) in their next-to-last game.

Here is the map before the season started:

Baltimore and St. Louis were the only teams that managed to hold onto the land around their capitals. That should give them solace after coming in fourth.
