Buying a Seahawks replica jersey has become a rite of passage for many local NFL fans since Pete Carroll's team became relevant again in 2012.

Blame "Blue Friday," which started a few years ago and encourages Seahawks fans to sport their gear at work. Even if you don't watch football, nobody wants to be the only person at the water cooler who showed up unprepared. Even if it costs $100.

Blame the Seahawks' remarkable success, which began with a trip to the NFC divisional round during the 2012 campaign, then back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, including one championship, the following two seasons.

Blame whatever or whoever you want. But the fact is when you leave your home on Fridays this time of year, you're going to see a ton of people wearing Seahawks blue and green. Many of them will be wearing jerseys. At the grocery store. At the bank. At happy hour. Doesn't matter. Seahawks fans let you know that they're ready for kickoff, even if it isn't for another 48 hours.

If you're reading this, you're most likely one of those people. Check out the gallery above to see what your Seahawks jersey says about you.
