Am I missing something on this Elway auto?

Just came across this browsing the Bay:

The sig part of the auto is in black ink, the inscription ("Wood") is in red ink. Is this normal? Why would he switch pens for the inscription?

What is the reason for putting "Wood"

At first look, it seems like a very lame attempt at a fake...but it's so lame that it makes me wonder if it's real. Would someone really decide to add an inscription and think "red ink stuff sells high, I'll inscribe it in red even though the sig is black!"

Maybe b/c there is a tree on the University seal? I'm not sure

Maybe red b/c Stanford's color is red? Just a guess.
