The judge in the Aaron Hernandez's murder case has banned New England Patriots' gear inside the court room to accord respect to the proceedings.

According to CBS Boston, Judge E. Susan Garsh on Monday issued a guideline on media coverage, public attendance and courtroom protocol in the Aaron Hernandez's murder case trial.

"No person wearing clothing, or a button or other object attached to clothing, or carrying an object that displays any Patriots or other NFL team logo, football-related insignia, or words and/or a photograph that relate in any way to this case will be permitted entry to the Fall River Justice Center during any phase of the trial," she wrote in her order.

Former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez was arrested on June 26, 2013 in North Attleborough, Mass. for his alleged involvement in the June 26, 2013 death of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player whose body was found about a mile of the home he shares with girlfriend, Shayanna Jenkins.

In January this year, the Superior Court in Bristol, Conn. issued a warrant after Aaron Hernandez was linked to a double homicide case involving Daniel Abreau, 29, and Safiro Furtado, 28, of Dorchester, Mass. who were shot dead in a drive-by attack on July 16, 2012 after having just left Cure Lounge along with three friends.

In a related report from Boston Globe, the judge explained her decision to ban New England Patriots apparel to "ensure the safety and well-being of all trial participants ... and the dignity of the proceedings."

As to media coverage, "the judge authorized three pool cameras: one for broadcast TV, one for the Web, and one for still photography for what is expected to be a much-watched case," the publication added.

The selection of jurors in relation to the Aaron Hernandez's murder case is scheduled on January 9.
