Lacoste Changes Crocodile into Goat to Honor Novak Djokovic
Lacoste changes crocodile into goat to honor Novak Djokovic, reworking its iconic crocodile emblem into a goat during a limited capsule release ahead of the US Open. The five-piece collection includes a polo, T-shirt, tracksuit jacket, cap, and trousers presented in the brand’s signature green. The playful transformation nods to Djokovic’s nickname “GOAT,” meaning Greatest of All Time, while celebrating his unmatched achievements on every surface in tennis. Posters accompanying the release highlight his Grand Slam victories and the lasting impact of his career.
The collection was unveiled at Lacoste’s Fifth Avenue flagship with fans invited to join the celebration through social media. Djokovic has been a Lacoste ambassador since 2017, and the tribute underscores his role as both a champion and cultural figure. By altering a logo that has stood for nearly a century, the brand creates a symbolic gesture that honors both legacy and greatness.
