Why did "Match Game" put the year on its title? (Ex: "Match Game 75")
Because if they used the month they'd have to change the sign 12 times as often.
More likely they wanted to distinguish it from the 1960s Match Game and "The New" was already being used on TPIR.
An alternate title under consideration early on was Blankety Blanks.

Which, of course, was used by many of the foreign versions (or the singular "Blankety Blank").
