1994 Fleer. Clean. Understated. Classy.
1995 Fleer: Chaotic. Confusing. Gross.
It makes you wonder what Fleer was doing during the baseball strike.
That's got to be the biggest makeover between base sets for a single card company in the history of cards. But I'm willing to take other submissions.

1974 Topps to 1975 Topps is another.
72 Topps to 73 Topps was also a huge transition in design from psychedelic to blah.
When's the FS post coming?
Not only did they switch from paintings to photos but they went from an undersized card to an oversized card.
that said, you should do a post on which card design best fits the zeitgeist of the day. i think 1988 barber pole Fleer, but 1995 Fleer might too.
(i was going to explore the topic, but a, no one reads my blog, and b, i don't have time nor the skill to pull it off as well as you would.)
