    It is Izod and Lacoste, but alligator from Lacoste. Izod Lacoste was a brand name of sportswear licensed to Izod by Lacoste from 1952-1993.

    René Lacoste was one of the world’s best tennis players in the 1920s. The American press dubbed him the Alligator in ’27, after he wagered for an alligator-skin suitcase with the captain of the French Davis Cup team. When he returned to France, alligator became crocodile, and Lacoste was known forever after as the Crocodile. When a friend drew a crocodile for him, Lacoste had it embroidered on the blazer he wore on the court. He founded a company and Lacoste’s polo, which revolutionized sports clothing, was emblazoned with his signature croc—the first designer logo in history. In 1951, Lacoste partnered with Vin Draddy, a garment manufacturer who called his company Izod, after Jack Izod, a London tailor he admired. In ’93, Lacoste split with Izod and began a revival of the reptile.
