Blue team reveals limitation (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

downside

'limitation' is the definition.
(a downside is a limitation or bad feature)

'blue team' is the wordplay.
'blue' becomes 'down' (both can mean sad).
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'down'+'side'='DOWNSIDE'

'reveals' is the link.

(Other definitions for downside that I've seen before include "RC school; bad aspect" , "public school" , "Somerset RC abbey/college" , "disadvantage" , "Discouraging aspect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
