I saw this 1979 Topps Football sell sheet on ebay, and was quite surprised to see the Steelers logo on Terry Bradshaw's helmet. This flyer certainly gives the impression that the 1979 set would include team logos on the helmets based on the picture:
I'm guessing that Topps didn't bother to airbrush the sell sheet as that isn't a trading card, and they probably figured the NFL would not bother going after them over a sell sheet.
Here is a look at the other sports sell sheets from 1979:

For the NFL they mention Team Picture cards - There were not any. They were team leader cards. As to the Best action scenes ever, there where none in the 1979 Topps football set. All individual players were close head shots, the only action appeared on the playoff/Super Bowl Cards Its weird the baseball player look generic with logo on hat removed. It appears to be a Red Sox player but no one in the 1979 set was wearing a dark cap. Fred Lynn 1980 Topps card shows him wearing a dark cap.
