That is perplexing. Why isn't COWBOYS also in red and black? ETA: Not knowing much about these I looked them up and apparently the Hill and Lance Rentzel were originally printed with their names in black in error, all of the other Cowboys have red names and both were later corrected. Is it possible that when Topps made the correction that they just covered the black ink names with red? I can't think of any other explanation for the card to have both a red name and a black name and for the COWBOYS to not be the same way. Edited again, I have another theory now, the Hill and the Rentzel were mistakenly printed with the black name on the final black ink run on both cards and it covered the correct red name that was already there, the error was caught and the black names were removed from the final black ink run leaving only the correct red ink names.
