Topps was experimenting to see if they could do away with incensing the logos etc. from the teams at the time, or perhaps threatening to do so. The related Pin-Ups set and the 73 Candy Lids are other examples, likely timed to what were upcoming license renewal negotiations. The Action Emblem stickers from the period were a kind of evolution of this.
Many of the Topps football sets have no team licensed logos and the like, early basketball sets too. For some reason, baseball products without team logos seem to be thought of as cheap by collectors and not as fully collectable as those with them.
