Pete Buttigieg dresses as Brad Stevens for Halloween — and vice versa

Presidential candidate and mayor of South Bend Pete Buttigieg dressed as a Hoosier sporting legend for Halloween this year.

No, it wasn't Larry Bird or Bob Knight. Mayor Pete threw on a blazer, a Boston Celtics hat, grabbed a clipboard and transformed into former Butler coach and Zionsville native Brad Stevens.

Was so great to have Brad Stevens come to New Hampshire and give the @PeteButtigieg team a pep talk. #HappyHalloween pic.twitter.com/PC3fExskxc — Kevin Donohoe (@kevinsidonohoe) October 31, 2019

The resemblance is pretty striking, and not to be outdone, Stevens — sans blazer — put on a tie and became a ringer for presidential hopeful Buttigieg.

Stevens' wife Tracy shared Brad's costume on Twitter Thursday.

The two are basically doppelgängers, making the costumes pretty clever.

Buttigieg's husband, Chasten, seemed to enjoy Stevens' costume choice.

Twitter also got a kick out of their Halloween attire.
