With names like Chris Rea and Tom Carson they could create 'Reason' - clothing with a purpose?
Brilliant!!!
Reason is already a brand I think
Which would have made it a great reason for investment
Christopher Reason sounds like a designer brand tbh
Don't give them any free ideas
The thumbnail is soo perfect Duncan waering a jacket and asking them if they think they're designers pure brilliance
Touker would've offered them office space.
Lol yeah
@@anubusx Touker would have whipped the zipper 😂🤣 he’s accident prone
" onesie boys " LMAO the commentator is doing his job 10/10
So he's selling these at £59.99 and claims that to be half the price of his competitors which means the next cheapest onesie on the market is £120. I have never, ever seen a onesie priced at over a hundred pounds so I would love to know where they are doing their market research. I'm so over idiots like this that think they can iron a logo onto the front of some pre made fruit of the loom crap and call themselves fashion designers. It's embarrassing
I couldn't believe they said 60 quid either I was expecting about £12 maybe £20 max after their claims of been half the price of others.
I love fruit of the loom for being cheap lol. Not expensive.
A bit dramatic to say embarrassing. Maybe it's better quality, plus it's custom. You don't know
Guys these episodes are decades old, yes current prices will be cheaper now
£59.99 and then market it to uni students who notorious for having no money? They don't even know their target audience.
Debra talking about how they lose their hip and trendy identity with a Dragon on board.
8:04 Fear not kids, it's the Professor of Dragonomics himself Big D Banna--Time!
I was all onboard until they said the price. Onesies are super popular at Uni, but people buy them for like £20 max from Primark. They would have been better going cheap and cheerful and then lots of designs and colours and said students will want them all.
agree
But that's the price now. This is not 2022 in the episode.
@@TheManInBlueFlames nope I went to Uni 10 years ago, that was the price then. This episode is probably 15 years old, so them being expensive makes it even worse
The prices for buying fabric and shipping have increased. So, if they reduce the prices then how will the make profit??
@@gmarz9611 Going by what they said "the 2011 onesie craze" I'd say this episode was at the earliest filmed 2012, so at most 10 years old
I dont believe this brand ever hit the big time, like Superdry or Jack Willis, but I do fear the shelf life of university brands. Give them 4-5 years, and few fresh intake of students, and there be a hot new brand, looking to sell to the freshmen students.
These are all very old videos (2013 in this case). From wikipedia:
Deal Failed
Young Ones declined the investment after filming, stating they felt Bannatyne did not share their creative direction for the business.
it net worth minus 31 k
There have been trends that have lasted for a long amount of time and in terms of brand, you only need it to hit once to get a big hit.
Onsies are very popular even today.
Make money and move on never hold on to a dying trend
Duncan's got drip
And you are right
Drippy Duncan
He's dripping? What?
Do you mean precum?
What does that actually mean?
Suprised i didnt hear them hustle Duncan down to 33.33%
Equal ownership between the 3 of them would have made sense
Logical idea, but unfortunately it didn’t come to mind under pressure.
they shouldve countered with 33.3% so they all have equal share
He wasn't going down to 30% he was clear he wanted 40. He wasn't budging
I was thinking the same, equal partnerships. They should have tried at the least, but like Aaron said, highly unlikely he would have accepted less than 40%!
That's exactly what I was thinking - a third each.
I know he did take 40 percent but Duncan is usually pretty fair, I read that by 2019 he had sold back all of his den investments back to the original companies. I hope those guys made it work with him
So it's the past Dragon, Simon Woodroffe, who owns Yo Sushi and the trademark YO.
I’ve never seen Kelly too interested in anything?
She is so dull, her laughing at the start of the video really surprised me because I think it is the only time I have seen her smile
Sol Campbell
They should have come back with the offer to be equal partners... 33.33% each - Duncan would have been happy to keep them incentivised but also it would have given them 10% more each. It's a fair deal and I believe he'd have compromised on that basis.
Update, they founded a field hockey equipment company, Y1 that seems to still be doing well. The holding company they formed to own it has like 600k in the bank in 22
I miss cheeky Duncan sometimes.
8:02 Most important part of the pitch.
Seems like university companies have the most potential, mainly because the founders are more likely to be like minded individuals surrounded by people who they can naturally uptake ideas from, all you really need is to create a brand that appeals to those people ur surrounded by.
Clear-headed, well-prepared young men. Great pitch! Wish them the best of luck.
I'd suggest Y1s but that's a bummer. Shows how crucial it is to check all that beforehand.
They needed some Touker time…
No one:
Touker: OFFICE SPACE AND MARKS & SPENCERS
Is it only me that hears the thuglife music when Duncan puts the sunglasses on
Kelly thought the Onesie would last...
I actually like Kelly but she wasn't right there. Nobody wears Onesies now.
Duncan's Den
Is that Liam Neeson and Hugh Grant?
No, it's not
There is something incongruent in the suits they wear and in that they wear suits to promote their anti-formal wear. The whole pitch has a disturbing and unreal quality about it.
They had to or Peter would lambast them for not taking it seriously.
The taller one has incorrectly fastened his buttons (bottom one should never be fastened), so the look was probably undone in the eyes of Peter, Deborah and Kelly.
They look like they are there to take advantage of a short term trend. They are probably doing something completely different and unrelated now.
@@dtz1000 You were spot on
I don't even know what day it is, I started watching a few days ago and haven't moved since!! Def new sub here, and SO glad to be here.
Never knew Simon Woodruff owns YO Sushi, or that he has everything YO and YO! trademarked 😮
Yep. He was a dragon in the very first series. Think he sold Yo! though
Yeah he owns all of it... very wealthy and successful individual. He didn't make any deals in the first season so they got another dragon to replace him
@@montelvontaviouspore He did make a deal, the truffle farm guy, but it fell through after the show
@@montelvontaviouspore Thought he left because the Dragon’s Den turned into a battle of Egoes rather than helping entrepreneur with credible businesses.
At least he is much better than Doug Jenkins. Also the track records I found out is that if they invest too little, they at best have 2 seasons.
@@Hutchyy meaning he didn't make any deals in the end
I like these two ambitious young men
I don't
Duncan is a good carricter and is a very funny man when he wants to be!!
3:57 the same question could be asked of Kelly Hoppen.
i love that peirs and duncan just chilling in their onesies 😆
Didn't know the dude owned the word "yo" 😱
I know these lads personally/ they still live at home with their mums
Do you really?
Pull the other one.
🐂 💩
@@legalcams Yeah I doubt they really know them but if so then you're right. I'd hate to think like that.
Why doesn’t that surprise me
Not in a cruel way just in a, they remind me of those guys their age I know that still live with their mums. Probably spend more on their weekends then they’ve put into savings
That guy sure "feels" a lot of stuff.
He talks pure 💩
"Fashion is abhorrent, because it must change continuesly."

Has kelly ever invested in anything??
She should really invest in a personality..
I actually like the wood style sunglasss tbh
Piers onesie was pretty cool.
Debs rolling bogeys again.
A clothing company called The Young Ones? Who's the CEO? Rick, Vivian, Neil or Mike?
What makes Kelly think she’s an investor?
@Ministry Of Holiness Yes but she nees to get it out of the bank to invest!
I would tell my homie that his dad isn't a dragon, so let's send it.
Their biggest mistake was not asking what universities the dragons went to
"High quality onezie" oh boy....
They were attracted to the money and didn't think it through before accepting the offer. 40% ????????
Check out the snazzy suits on these young lads! Definitely a pair of high-class fashionistas.
they look like oxfam rejects
Students wont worry on the whole about a dragon investor, the look, feel and price point will be more important
What is everyone eating this Sunday dinner time?
pizza lmao perfect timing
Pizza
Nothing on a come down from fet
F*ck all I'm skint two days til payday tho
Steak pie and chips.
So there is a thing called onesie.
In the US they are quite common.
Smart guys.
What happened to the Onesie Boys after the Den:
They decided to decline the offer after the show. The YoungOnes company status shows that it's been dissolved on August 17th 2021.
Interestingly, their website is still operational! Not only that, but it also has a "Copyright 2022" on it, and their Instagram account is still making posts.
Through their website, I've found out that they have a company called "Y1 Sport" now, so it seems that they've just consolidated everything under it. Don't quote me on that, I just spent 10 minutes doing a google search.
Someone else said something similar so I’m inclined to believe y’all.
Chris Rea I heard he was driving home for Christmas
Liam Neeson must have used a few bottles of Oil of Ulay before entering the Den. 🤔 😄
Fits this generation well.
60£ isn’t affordable hahaha
The 2 lads are making a clothes brand . But they borrowed their dad's suits for the pitch.
there is ''young ones'' clothing for sale now, but not selling onsies
According to their Facebook page the lads decided after the show that they did not want to give away 40% of the company and pulled out of the deal with Duncan Bannatyne.
Although the company (YoungOnes Apparel Ltd) was dissolved in 2021 Chris Rea and Tom Carson together with other shareholders are still trading under the names of Y1Sport Ltd and Y1Group Ltd, they appear to have taken the advise of the dragons and changed the logo from YO to Y1 and Y|1.
They could have just added an '' 's" to YO
I feel like Kelly is all talk. Jenny 2.0.
the deal didn't go through
8:07 cool Duncan
Well done for them
Surprise: Kelly isn't interested
I could see Billie Eilish wearing one of these getups. 😂
Good looking guys
So Duncan now owns more than each of they do. 33.3 max you should give away
What does Kelly know about design and fashion, her hair style went out in the 70's.
I'm fairly sure you're just a onesie company
Great entrepreneurs, these guys are destined for something big!
Or to become scam artist. You know the type "I am making millions on the internet - why aren't you. Buy my course and find out how!"
@@cl1cka they beomce Y1 hockey one of the biggest and major supplers worldwide
I knee that Yo was gonna be a problem.. 🤣🤣
Lunch time!
Young Liam Neeson lookalike 😮
once in a lifetime comes a love like this.... I need you you need me.. oh my darling can't you see......
I like Peter Jones and Reggae Reggae sauce.
The student models look like they're being held at gunpoint
They ended up not taking duncans money
should have have said 33.3% and be equal partners
Let’s hope these lads make it on their quest for stardom
Does anyone know how this company faired? Asking for 2023.
The company rebranded into a very successful hockey company named "Y1" and are doing very well.
Is that guy wearing blush ?
Biggest secondhand embarrassment I’ve ever experienced
I don't need others to dictate what I wear, I can do that myself. It's called free will, very sad pitch in my humble opinion, and surprised they got a dragon
Fight the system.
@@anubusx with an onesie
@@legalcams Really, What youtube comment was that then?
But you are being told what to wear, through advertising, fashion and availability, just like the rest of us. Unless you make your own clothes?
I think they made a huge mistake by accepting that offer.
They didn't.
Changed their mind after filming
They are banking everything on some random reviews. Onesies are comfortable but its a niche area of clothing.
11:34 „I‘m out“ are actually three words
"aKsHuAlLy..."
Lol no
Whoops, turns out onesies were just a fashion fad
I knew YO was gonna be an issue the second I saw it…
Pretty far reaching that companies can trademark just 2 English letters side by side 🤷🏼🤦🏻♂️
What does overhead mean?
Costs and expenses before profits
they gave too much
NO STUDENT IS GOING TO PAY £59.99
Why are you shouting?
Was great to see Simon Woodroffe make a reappearance here.
Can't use "YO"? How about "Y1s"?
The company is now worth $1
They changed the name and dissolved the old company
They are now millionaires...I read that today.
@@jb-nn8sk They aren’t
@@jb-nn8sk if they are I have a feeling it’s on the back of their hockey careers
Keren
what a pair of mugs..cheap suits/shirts and poorly knotted ties . Look like cheap end estate agents
Poor negotiation tbh. They could've said lets be equal partners and given away 33.3% instead of 40% which I'm sure Duncan would've accepted.
They didn't accept the deal anyway.
Another deal made on camera that never happened in real life. Can't mention my source or my comment automatically gets deleted. But check their Facebook page and you'll find confirmation.
Colourful overalls ??
