There were 4 CIrcus teams in Constantinople.Each team had some racing chariots for the Circus races. The 4 teams were:
Venetoi (Blue)
Prasinoi (Green)
Leukoi (White)
Rusoi (Red)
At 1st they were something like F1 racing teams.
The most important ones were the Blue and the Green.
Blue were suported by the Aristocracy and Green by the labors.
Those two racing teams used their influences and became de facto political parties.
Sometimes they had their own "Security" forces as well.

To sum it up, think of a medieval greek mafia that had the guts to try dethroning an emperor

@HaldirOfLorien thank you very much!

Search wikipedia for the Nika Riots. It pretty much sums up what happened with Venetous (blues) and Prasinous (greens)

@JUMANJIHEADBANG Venetoi = blues. Prasinoi = greens. Back in Byzantines cities, they were sports "teams/parties" or "representatives" (lack for better words) for competitive sporting events such as chariot racing, etc. They started out as purely for sports, but pretty much became political parties.
Someone can probably explain this far better than I can, but that's the gist of it.
