Paul Smith has been asked to design the off-pitch formal wear for Manchester United football club.

The British designer will dress the squad for the next three seasons, reports Catwalk Queen.

Smith will create suits and accessories for the players and officials and his designs will debut at the Champions League final in Moscow on Wednesday.

"The outfits are outstanding. This is a Club with a rich heritage and one that has a clear sense of identity. Sir Paul has recognised that, while providing clothing that will be the envy of every other Club," said team manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

"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," said Smith.

"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 colours, 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."
