The Sidemen is one of the most popular YouTube groups created back in 2013 with seven British-based content creators including KSI, Zerkaa, Miniminter, TBJZL, Behzinga, Vikkstar123, and W2S. The seven members are known for collaborating on regular videos on YouTube, with individuals also finding critical success in other fields.
The Sidemen banner, which has evolved into their brand logo, prominently features the Roman numerals "XIX" below the name. The number, 19 in the Indo-Arabic numeric system, is a not-so-subtle nod to the date of the creation of the group which was officially formed on October 19, 2013.
The XIX has remained on the banner ever since that day, appearing on their branded merchandize and other affiliated businesses as well. Incidentally, the group has a club in FIFA (Now EA FC) which is also titled XIX, along with their branded XIX Vodka, indicating the significance of the date for the members.
While content creator duos and trios have been a thing for quite some time, Sidemen is hands-down one of the first groups in the industry to reach the heights they have, giving rise to several others, including the likes of Beta Squad.
As mentioned, the group officially formed on the date 19 October 2013, but some of the members had known each other for years prior. The roots of the origin of the collective can be traced to Simon "Miniminter" and Olajide "KSI" who had been friends since 2005.
The two would end up collaborating with Josh "Zerkaa" in 2012, and Josh's school friend Tobi "TBJZL." The story goes that the four of them would then invite Ethan "Behzinga" to join the group in 2013 after watching his streams, and these five would be known as "The Orginal Five" in retrospect.
