EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority has awarded naming rights to Continental Airlines Arena to the clothing maker Izod. The building will be called the Izod Center. Izod is a division of clothing and apparel maker Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., and is already a sponsor of the New Jersey Nets basketball team which plays there. Two other clothing companies -- Rocawear and Southpole -- had also been bidding to have their name on the arena. Continental Airlines Inc. opted to take its name off the 26-year-old building now that the New Jersey Devils NHL team is is leaving for a new home in Newark.
