“Common Sense Ranger” – The Smokey Reality Check Tee

Smokey has been patrolling the woods for over 80 years, and he’s officially seen it all. He realized a long time ago that matches aren’t the only things people shouldn’t be playing with. In this classic, authoritative design, the world’s most famous bear is back in his signature campaign hat with a blunt update to his legendary slogan. He’s stepping out of the forest and into the real world to remind everyone: “ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT STUPIDITY.”
