Reminds me of how one first visit between teams at Apple and IBM had both showing up in each other's "uniforms".

That was Microsoft and IBM AFAIK.
From http://applemuseum.bott.org/sections/ppc.html

"IBM officials often tried to accomodate Apple and vice versa so that both could comfortably work in unison. One popular anecdote talks of one of the first meetings between the two computer giants. IBM engineers dressed in blue jeans for the meeting, while Apple engineers dressed in suits. They both tried to make each other feel compfortable by conforming to what they thought the other was like."

But I wouldn't be surprised if it happened a lot.
