Editor: Think about it.

"old" has two senses, one of which does not apply to 舊.

Google definition of "old":
1. having lived for a long time; no longer young.
2. belonging to the past; former.

"opposite: new" makes it clear that "old" signifies Google's 2nd sense, not the 1st.

Grand Ricci, for example, uses the same idea in its definition of 舊:
1. Vieux (p. opp. à neuf); vieux (p. opp. à récent). [...]

i.e. "old (as opposed to 'new' or 'recent')"
