About 300 of the shirts that have been turned in as part of a free exchange offer are youth sizes , the Patriots reported Sunday .

Prosecutors say Hernandez had a falling-out with Lloyd at a nightclub and planned his execution-style killing in the following days . After prosecutors brought charges against Hernandez , the Patriots offered fans who had purchased Hernandez jerseys the chance to trade them in . Legal woes mount for former Patriots tight end . `` We know that children love wearing their Patriots jerseys , but may not understand why parents do n't want them wearing their Hernandez jerseys anymore , '' spokesman Stacey James said in announcing the offer last week . `` We hope this opportunity to exchange those jerseys at the Patriots ProShop for another player 's jersey will be well received by parents . '' The exchange applied only to Hernandez jerseys purchased from the Patriots ' ProShop and PatriotsProShop.com . Jersey owners had to go to the ProShop in Foxborough , Massachusetts , during store hours to exchange .
