I was watching Emmys when I heard the phrase "go blue" from Darren Criss who won the award for the lead actor in a limited series. He said:
Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to the television academy.
Go blue.
You can find his speech here and this phrase at 1:29.
I googled go blue and I found this:
This is in reference to a 'blue movie', a euphemistic term for a
pornographic film.going a bit blue then would mean that the programme/character in
question is normally 'clean' but has begun to include more adult
themes.
and this one:
to turn blue from being cold or not breathing
But I think none of them makes sense in this context. So what does "go blue" mean here?

"Go Blue" is similar to "Go Wildcats", where the second word refers to a school or sports team.
In this particular case, blue is one of the colors of the University of Michigan, which is where Criss went to school. If you went to one of their sports games, you might hear the song Let's Go Blue.
