If I remember correctly, when the red jersey was re-introduced back in '03 or whenever it was, the number and name were both black. It was very brief, however, because the black-on-red of the name was particularly hard to read for broadcasters, so they changed the name to white but kept the number black.
I'm not sure exactly how many games the name was black-on-red, but I think that's how it happened. Maybe someone else can remember better?
Regardless, I do agree that the name and number should both match on this latest example. Just make it red text and that's a pretty nice shirt.

Ya I think it was just for the first couple months of the 03-04 season, then they switched it because lots of STH's were complaining about not being able to read the names.
Having the name match the # seems like something I'd want, but I actually like the white name bar over the coloured numbers. My NFL team, the Saints, have a white name bar over gold #'s on their retro black jerseys and I think it looks awesome.
