See, I don't see any similarities at all.
Arriva introduced a new brand and offering, with a slight variation of an existing livery.
If that wasn't clear enough, the revised livery has huge Arriva lettering alongside the brand.
Two clear links to the operator.
That's exactly what GNE are doing, it's a new brand for a new offering, since Xlines buses are higher spec than the ones they're replacing (for the most part anyway)
Plus, the original Sapphire livery had minimal Arriva branding
If you combine Arriva's MAX and Sapphire, you basically end up with Xlines
