According to Google:
Topps could not put official team logos on their early 1970s basketball cards because they did not have a licensing agreement with the NBA itself, only with the NBA Players Association (NBPA). Topps had a contract with the players' association allowing them to use player images and names. They did not have a separate agreement with the NBA league office, which owned the rights to the official team names and logos. As a result, early 70s Topps cards often featured: Photos of players with the backs of their jerseys showing (to hide front logos and team names). Players in warm-up gear or practice uniforms without logos. Airbrushed-out logos where they might have appeared on uniforms or other gear. Generic team names printed on the card borders or vertical edges, rather than the official logo.
