About Crips
The Crips are a primarily African-American alliance of street gangs that are based in the coastal regions of Southern California. Founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1969, mainly by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams, the Crips began as an alliance between two autonomous gangs, and developed into a loosely connected network of individual "sets", often engaged in open warfare with one another. Its members have traditionally worn blue clothing since around 1973. The Crips are one of the largest and most violent associations of street gangs in the United States. With an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 members in 2008, the gangs' members have been involved in murders, robberies, and drug dealing, among other crimes.

The Pitch on Dragons' Den UK
Crips appeared on Dragons' Den UK (Series 9, Episode 7) in 2011. Gareth and Brian Smith pitched the product to the Dragons. No deal.
Where they are now: Crips' pitch failed due to the dragons citing major profits losses over 2 years and subsequently ridiculing the company's valuation.
