Lacoste replaces crocodile logo with endangered species
Lacoste is ditching its iconic crocodile logo in a bid to raise awareness for endangered species: In partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the French tennis brand will release a limited-edition capsule of 10 shirts embroidered with different animals who are currently at risk of extinction. The number of shirts produced will be limited to each critter’s population size, and profits from the collaboration will benefit the IUCN as it works to ensure the survival of the at-risk animal breeds. {Hypebeast}
