I believe they just wanted to offer some contrast so that you could make out Billy clearly, although it's not the greatest shot of him anyway, IMO. The Fisk bears a little of the same trait.
I always loved the design of the 1974 set. Actually, I find the set as a whole to be one of my favorites from the decade---'71 is maybe nicer when found in high grade and no chipping. Underrated because of the lack of star power rookies, IMO. The Aaron subset was really cool back in the day.
