The new line of 2012 CMA Music Festival merchandise is now available online at www.CMAmusicfeststore.com. Introducing seven new apparel items, in addition to hats and accessories, this year’s Festival merchandise pays tribute to classic Country Music imagery while incorporating fresh new styles for the fans.

Four new unisex T-shirts are available this year, beginning with the “Edgy” event T-shirt. This classic heather grey T-shirt features a large blue “CMA” logo on front, laid over a circular emblem which reads “NASHVILLE, TN” and “MUSIC FESTIVAL” around the edge. The “Harvest” T-shirt comes in chocolate brown and displays a distressed 2012 CMA Music Festival hexagonal logo on front. The back features a similar logo beneath the neckline, which reads “NASHVILLE TENNESSEE.” The unisex “Rough Country” T-shirt is cardinal red and features a weathered 2012 CMA Music Festival block logo on front with “NASHVILLE, TN” printed underneath.

The always popular event T-shirt is classic and simple. Coming in three colors – white, charcoal grey, and green – this unisex shirt features the official 2012 CMA Music Festival logo on the front.

The new merchandise line also includes two new ladies T-shirts. The 2012 ladies “Flower” T-shirt comes in light pink and features a water-colored CMA MUSIC FESTIVAL logo on the front, accented by a light blue floral print design. On the back right shoulder a smaller flower design is featured with the NASHVILLE, TN 2012 text logo.

The light blue “Missy Cut Vintage” T-shirt displays an intricate vintage-style logo design across the chest. A new take on the CMA Music Festival logo, this diamond-form design features the Festival logo with “NASHVILLE 2012” printed underneath. Ribbon and floral accents surround the edges, creating a blended style of classic and modern.

The weather may be hot during the Festival, but you can still look cool with the 2012 unisex “Zip-Up Hooded Sweatshirt.” This light blue heather sweatshirt features the official 2012 CMA Music Festival logo on the left chest.
