I think the default case prevents you from arbitrarily changing the gamestate such that you are "Blue".  However, should a legacy rule have created a "Blue" attribute on you, I don't really see why said attribute would go away when the rule did, since that would be a change to the gamestate too.  Hence the legacy player stocks you had.
