The International Olympic Committee(IOC) has released a set of guidelines on Russia's neutral uniforms and logos at the Winter Olympics in PyeonChang. 

The IOC held a meeting in Switzerland on Wednesday and published the guidelines for neutral athletes who will compete as "Olympic Athlete from Russia" or OAR in the Games. 

The IOC said that the exact colors of the red, white and blue Russian flag cannot be used in the OAR uniforms and casual kit, and they can only use two of the colors. The red and blue should be of a darker tone. 

The IOC also banned national emblems or Russian Olympic Committee marking on the uniforms. 

It suggested a circular logo that says "Olympic Athlete from Russia" in red writing on a white background, with the words "Olympic Athlete from" above the word "Russia" in the same font size.
