Blue on Blue is from the spring of 1963--when "Red" and "Blue" had different political connotations than they do today.

Of course, we all know what "Red" connoted. Around 1960, some military officers started a program to educate military personnel on American values as opposed to Communism. They decided to call it the Pro-Blue (as opposed to Anti-Red) program. However, this endeavor was dscontinued in 1961 after journalists generated controversy over it, and the expression "Pro-Blue" never caught on.
