It seemed like the ideal solution but the significance was perhaps lost on Abdullah al-Rashidi.
Without a national uniform to wear because he was competing under the Olympic flag following Kuwait's suspension from the Rio Games, he decided to don an Arsenal shirt.
Whether he knows the football club's nickname is the Gunners is doubtful.
Nevertheless, the top helped him win Olympic bronze in the men's skeet.
Asked why he had worn it, he replied: "I don't know, I just bought it."
Some didn't waste any time cracking a few jokes at Arsenal's expense.
