Since whoever wrote the last entry was young, foolish, and obviously under educated in Izod, I will explain how Izod came to be.
Izod and Lacoste used to be part of the same company, and the clothing line was originally called "Izod Lacoste" and featured a small crocodile emblem.
Eventually Izod and Lacoste had differences of opinion over labor of the products. Izod wanted to design clothes in France, and have them made in foreign countries with cheap labor. Lacoste wanted no part of it, and kept design and manufacture in France while Izod split off and did his own thing. Eventually now you see that since Lacoste kicked the bucket, the new owner of the company went the way Izod wanted to go originally and all Lacoste shirts are now "Designed in France, Made in wherever".
So, that is the REAL story of Izod, and how they went from having a crocodile to a crest on their shirt. As well, when I was a teenager in the 80's, they were always just referred to as "Izod" and Lacoste was sort of passe as if that part of the company name didn't matter. It was an IZOD, and it was famous for the crocodile.

Get the izod mug.Any one of the numerous products created by Apple that has an 'i' in front of the name, such as iPods, iMacs, iPhones, iLife, etc, that allows Apple iFans to feel superior to everyone else.
The iPhone is the latest iProduct that is sure to have all the iFans up in arms telling us how "clearly" superior it is to every other phone on the market. iProducts sure do make me hate iFans.

Considered a more positive term than the synonym iPoke.

Get the irodosesoclytus mug.A ridiculous excuse for an iPod addon, used as a vibrator that pulses to the beat of whatever music the user is listening to.
Karen popped in her iRod after a long day and decided to relax and enjoy herself all night long, listening to Lady Gaga and ICP.

Get the iRod mug.Izod and Lacoste are two seperate brands. Izod began in the 20th-century in London. The name acquired prestige and an American businessman, Vin Draddy, bought the name to start his own company in America. Lacoste was started by Rene Lacoste, a famous tennis player in 1933 in France. Izod acquired the license to produce Lacoste clothing in the U.S. These were known as Izod Lacoste. This partnership lasted until the mid 1990s, when Lacoste refused to extend its license to Izod on the grounds that Izod was not producing Izod Lacoste items to Lacoste quality standards.
