Fashionista or not, odds are good that most could instantly recognize this crocodile as the signature logo of French fashion company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lacoste.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lacoste<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How does a crocodile, stylish as he may be, become the ubiquitous icon of a luxury brand? The answer is a bit different than what we\u2019re used to seeing in the advertising industry where so many brand mascots are born out of cute illustrations and \u201cEureka!\u201d ideas. It traces back to businessman Ren\u00e9 Lacoste and the game of tennis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&ldquo;The Crocodile&rdquo;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Ren\u00e9 Lacoste founded Lacoste, he was a tennis champion. According to the Lacoste website, Lacoste\u2019s team captain made a bet with him in 1923. If Lacoste was able to win an upcoming tennis match, the team captain would buy him a crocodile leather suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lacoste, who had previously admired this suitcase in a store window, agreed to the bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/popicon.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/rene_lacoste_crocodile.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While he didn\u2019t win the match, the bet was widely reported in American newspapers highlighting his determination on the court. Lacoste quickly became associated with the nickname \u201cThe Crocodile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shortly afterward, the crocodile logo itself was also born. An obituary for Bernard Lacoste published by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2006\/03\/23\/business\/bernard-lacoste-executive-and-fashion-entrepreneur-is-dead-at-74.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a> in 2006 stated a friend of Lacoste\u2019s embroidered a crocodile on a blazer which Ren\u00e9 wore on the tennis courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Fashion Icon Is Born<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember Lacoste\u2019s friend who embroidered the crocodile on his blazer? The credit for this embroidery goes to Robert George, a French ice hockey player and the crocodile\u2019s designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not much is mentioned about George on the Lacoste website, although he does have a small mention in Lacoste\u2019s 90th anniversary press release. In the release, it says Lacoste asked George to design a crocodile for him in 1926 inspired by his own nickname.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fascinating biography footnote on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olympedia.org\/athletes\/96891\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olympedia.org<\/a> website tells another story about George. If what the biography written says is true, it was George, not a team captain, who made the bet with Lacoste to win a tennis match. In this version of the story, the crocodile suitcase belonged to George. Because Lacoste lost and wouldn\u2019t receive the suitcase, George was said to have embroidered the crocodile on Lacoste\u2019s clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/popicon.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/lacoste_advertisement_1933.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legend of the Crocodile aside, a landmark first did occur when the crocodile was embroidered onto clothing. The Crocodile\u2019s placement, over the heart, allowed Lacoste to break ground as the first brand that had a visible logo displayed on its apparel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 1933 to today, the Crocodile would evolve across decades of advertising campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Lacoste Crocodile at 91 Years Young<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/popicon.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/lacoste_advertisement_1993.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On May 3, 2023, the Lacoste Crocodile celebrated his 90<sup>th<\/sup> birthday alongside Lacoste\u2019s 90th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What moves the Crocodile, now 91? It\u2019s all about the unique energy surrounding the Crocodile. He celebrates getting the people moving \u2014 on the court and growing from sport to street \u2014 alongside Lacoste\u2019s communities. They also infuse the brand with their spirit and help move the Crocodile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Image credits: Lacoste Archives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About the Author<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heather Taylor is the senior writer and editor-in-chief of PopIcon, Advertising Week\u2019s blog about brand mascots.
