And there isn't an indication on any others that there is pink under the red on the uniform. But it is under the red on the hat.
That's a bit unususal, as there's usually pink under the bright red.

What I think it might be, and I'd have to see a bunch more Speakers to be sure, is that at one point they ran the pink as bright red and bright red as pink.
So not a missing color, but a switched color.

Now the "proof" would be a group of maybe 10-12 cards with a similar thing going on. But it could be a lot more subtle.

I never really thought about a possible ink color swap. I guess the next step would be to search other cards from the same print group/sheet to see if a pattern exists.
