To think this is a very very odd logo for a child's hoodie

[Natsku]

This was given to the charity shop I work in today. Why 'stupid bear'???!!

What's wrong with it, am I missing something?

It's slang

It is s but odd, why would put a child in a top saying stupid? I suppose stupid bear might be a brand but I wouldn't buy it.

looks like one of those lost in translation tops from china

Sorry for typos it's been a manic day!

I actually laughed out loud at this!

Is there a label in it to say what shop it's from? I'm assuming they've bought it while abroad somewhere and somethings been lost in translation.

What's wrong with it??

Looks like Chinglish to me, but isn't Winnie the Pooh a "silly old bear"?

My guess is it's from the Far East originally where the thing was to put English writing on it, but not worry too much about the meaning. A bit like the western tendancy to get Chinese writing as tattoos without bothering to check that the transition is accurate.

"Stupid Bear"

Hmmm very odd!

Mmm. There's a brand of posh-ish children's clothes where I am (mainland Europe) called Eager Beaver. I shit you not.

That top 😂

Deffo a lost in translation thing
Check the label inside

Love it. Sometimes Chinese English is very literal so a word like "fun" or "Crazy" might translate as stupid.

I adore reading the packaging on cheapo toys from china. They have the most ridiculous phrases!

This, for example, is many shades of wrong.

Definitely lost in translation!

It seems to be from some Eastern European country, Poland or Czech republic I'd guess from the language on the label but wouldn't have expected such a lost in translation logo from there as opposed to China which has done great ones.

dingdong reckon DD would love that shirt... Unfortunately.

Is the bear called Pike? That would work better if my username was CaptainMainwaring.

Are you joking Geek?

Wooooooaaaaah! Eager beaver. Oh my. Never twigged to that one.

I am absolutely positive it is used at times to just mean 'very eager'. I swear I heard it as a kid and in a fun, light way.

Natsku - maybe made for Chinese/Asian market though? They can probably afford to 'outsource' production to EE now. They do love a bit of inappropriate logo-ing in Asia. I've lived all over Asia and seen some hilarious stuff, DH living/working in Singapore now (which is supposed to have English as one if its native languages!) but this summer me and DC spotted a children's clothing store called 'Wanko'...... Sorry didn't take pic.....

Eager beaver is a perfectly normal saying. Just because beaver is also slang for vulva it doesn't mean that in every context.

In Canada there used to be a brand (might still exist) called Beaver Canoe.

Gardengeek I think in an innocent context saying "eager beaver" would be fine, but people are (I think) referring to the fact that beaver is slang in some places for fanjo.
