Our Story So Far
Our Story So Far
Welcome to Brummer’s Base, a brand that began with a simple idea but has grown into something much deeper—a symbol of personal journeys, resilience, and connection.
Brummer’s Base is about the stories we create, the memories we make, and the paths we forge.
Our Origin
Brummer’s Base started when a 20 year old boy was in university, playing rugby, and looking for affordable headwear options. He couldn’t afford paying for expensive branded caps. He actually only had one. A black fitted curved peak with the white NY embroidery on the front. It was a classic and it went everywhere with him.
But he wanted options, so he decided to explore creating his own. Just as he was beginning to design his caps, he suffered a hamstring rupture that sidelined him for a year. It was during this time that he found himself needing a new focus—something to channel his energy into while he healed.
One day, he was sitting outside his dad’s apartment with a piece of paper and started sketching ideas. The result was the logo that represents Brummer’s Base today.
The design is inspired by a baseball home plate and a ‘B’ in the middle, representing his family name. That’s how Brummer’s Base was born—rooted in the spirit of resilience and a desire to create something meaningful.
Ubuntu: I Am Because We Are
At the heart of Brummer’s Base is the philosophy of Ubuntu, deeply ingrained in his South African heritage. “I am because we are.” This belief forms the foundation of his brand, emphasizing the importance of connection, community, and mutual support.
Brummer’s Base exists because of the people who wear his caps and the stories they carry with them. Every cap represents a shared experience, a memory, a connection.
He is not just selling caps; he is sharing the idea that you are never alone in this world.
More Than a Cap
The Melange Maverick was the first cap he ever designed. It’s special because it’s more than just a cap—it’s a symbol of how far he has come and where he hope's this brand will go. He wear's it on days when he feels uncertain, when he doesn't know what direction to go, or even when he is just having a bad day. It’s a reminder of resilience and growth, and it’s been with him through many highs and lows.
Whether it’s the cap you wore on an adventure or the one that you wore through a grueling year, each design carries a piece of you with it.
Our Mission:
At Brummer’s Base, our mission goes beyond just making headwear. We want to inspire you to push your limits, take risks, and chase greatness.
Each cap isn’t just a piece of headwear; it’s a symbol of the boldness and courage it takes to forge your own path. We believe in the power of storytelling. We believe that when you wear one of our caps, you’re adding a special page to our story.
Our goal is to motivate and remind people that their story is valuable and worth telling.
Looking Ahead:
Brummer’s Base is still in its early stages, but we’re growing. Currently, we’re selling our logo on blank caps from Uflex, but we’re on the verge of launching our own fully-designed caps—crafted from start to finish with a unique story behind each one.
Our slogan, “Caps That Tell a Story,” embodies this vision. Each cap is more than a product; it’s an experience, a connection to your journey and to the community of Brummer’s Base.
Our Promise:
And together, there are no limits to what we can achieve.
