The American Olympians won't be the only athletes rocking designer duds a la Ralph Lauren this summer.

Manchester United Football Club has tapped Paul Smith to design the teams formal wear and accessories for the next three years.

The quirky cool brand will supply Manchester United playing staff and officials for all domestic matches, European Cup campaign and pre-season tours -- with the first design set to make its debut at next week's Champions League final in Moscow.

On the sporty collaboration, the designer says: "We were very privileged to be asked to make the suits; the suit is a two button slim navy 100% mohair with specially designed lining with red panels and striped piping.

The team crest has been made from gold and silver thread and is sewn to the top pocket to give a club blazer feel. As we are famous for stripes we decided on a tie with diagonal stripes in optimistic colors, designed exclusively for the team. It is worn with a white shirt and we have made a special belt which has the crest printed inside on the tip. Finally, we have supplied luggage for the team in a striped fabric inspired by traditional English suiting."

While we love this little union, we always imagined the colorful personalties of the Manchester United team wearing something more sexy, like an Italian label. Could you imagine Cristiano Ronaldo in a gorgeous bespoke Dolce & Gabbana suit? Swoon.
