Bob Marley's daughter designing uniforms (for Jamaica's teams)

Usain Bolt will be competing at the 2012 London Olympics in uniforms designed by the daughter of reggae great Bob Marley.

The world-record holder in the 100 and 200 meters and the rest of his Jamaican track and field teammates will be wearing uniforms designed by Cedella Marley.

"We both break records," Marley told The Associated Press on Wednesday in a telephone interview. "Marleys. Bolt. Legendary."

Marley, the first-born daughter of Bob and Rita Marley, is a singer, author and fashion designer. She was picked by athletic apparel company Puma, the Jamaican team's sponsor, to create the clothes that the athletes will wear on the track, on the podium and in the ceremonies.

"I can't think of a better person to design our Olympic outfits than Cedella," Bolt said in a statement. "Puma got that right ... hooking up with a legendary Jamaican. It's going to be inspirational to run in London with that energy surrounding me."
