So why exactly is it saying 75 years?

I'm still going to get one, but I was just curious thats all.

Hail, your last line is the operative statement. The diamond anniversary of the founding of the franchise is a good reason to sell you a hat. That's all the reason the team needs. You'll also see pewter Redskins jerseys around. Another way to separate $75 or so from diehard fans.
Besides that, 75 years makes the Redskins one of the oldest franchises in the NFL. That's an accomplishment that should be recognized on its own.
