Ren¨¦ Lacoste was a famous French
tennis player who achieved fame in two areas: tennis and fashion. While winning the 1927 U.S. Open championship, Rene Lacoste of France wore something that he himself had created: a white, short-sleeve shirt made exclusively of a light knitted fabric called ¡®jersey petit piqu¨¦¡¯ that served to wick away moisture due to heat, the very first version of performance clothing in sports. The shirt was a radical departure from tennis fashion of the day, which called for stiff, woven, long-sleeve oxfords. In 1923 during the
Davis Cup, the American press nicknamed Lacoste "the Alligator" because of a bet made about an alligator-skin suitcase. With no cognate in his native tongue, the nickname was changed to
le crocodile in French. The nickname stuck due to his tenacious behavior on the courts, never giving up his prey. Lacoste¡¯s friend, Robert Georges, drew him a crocodile which
Lacoste then embroidered on the blazer he wore on the courts.
