Genoa returned for the following season, this time with a few changes; the name of the club was altered to Genoa Cricket &amp; Football Club, dropping the "Athletic" from its name. A change in shirt colour was also in order, as they changed to white and blue vertical stripes; known in Italy as "biancoblù". Genoa won their second title in a one-day tournament which took place on 16 April 1899, by beating Internazionale Torino 3–1 for the second time. On their way to winning their third consecutive title in 1900 and also beating local rivals Sampierdarenese 7–0; a winning margin which would not be bettered by any team in the league until 1910. The final was secured with a 3–1 win over F.B.C. Torinese.
