I have never been drawn to the 76 design. It beats 1970 for sure but it might otherwise likely finish #9 if I had to create a top-ten-of-the-seventies. I think the repetitive-ness of the little player graphic kinda wears me out looking at too many 76s at once. Maybe better for singles than sets?

I do think 78 & 79 are under-rated for their simplicity, particularly 78 with the classy cursive, something now rarely seen in modern life. Then a return to bright primary colors in 79, but again with a minimal use of the 2.5x3.5” real estate by the design. This -could- really let the game of Baseball shine through in the photography, if that’s given a chance. If it’s just hundreds upon hundreds of way zoomed-in torsos as in 2024 Heritage, then it’s all just a bunch of whatevs
