BERLIN (AP) After being cleared by UEFA to play in the Champions League following questions over a common owner, sister clubs Leipzig and RB Salzburg have brought out remarkably similar jerseys for the coming season.

Bundesliga side Leipzig was only cleared to play in Europe’s premier competition after club owner Red Bull distanced itself from Austrian side Salzburg. UEFA integrity rules prevented two clubs with the same owner from playing in the same competition.

However, both clubs have revealed almost identical white jerseys with red stripes at the sides and red pixels around the shoulder area. Both display the Red Bull logo prominently across the chest.
