The first LACOSTE shirt was white, slightly short than it counterparts, had a ribbed collar, short sleeves with ribbed band and was made of a light knitted fabric called “Jersey petit pique.” It continues to offer the same quality, comfort and solidity on which it built its name and which constitute its uniqueness.

Lacoste, nicknamed "le Crocodile" on the courts, is remembered today primarily for the reptilian logo on his ubiquitous sportswear.
In 1933, he founded La Societe Chemise Lacoste, which began producing a revolutionary new tennis shirt that Lacoste had been sporting on the courts himself: instead of the long-sleeved, stiff-collared shirt that made up the typical tennis outfit, Lacoste introduced a short-sleeved cotton pique polo shirt.

 TIME Magazine: Style and Design Lacoste -- Winter 2004 Style & Design
Long before the now ubiquitous crocodile crawled onto everything from polo shirts and golf clubs to Sean Combs' tracksuit, René Lacoste was reinventing the rules of the game—tennis, that is. Born in 1904, Lacoste was a world-class tennis star by age 20.
It was during a 1925 Davis Cup interzone final—when Lacoste bet his team captain that if he won his match, the captain would have to buy him a crocodile suitcase—that Lacoste's most famous invention was born.
Lacoste worked until his death at 92, but his final project, to reinvent the tennis ball, went unrealized.
