Now I'll comment.
I think you're probably all right on the schedule (I don't think two columns is an issue, but it probably should have just been two chronological columns, not home/away), but I can't under any circumstances see the second one as the better design.
The font Frutiger (which is Nike's chosen alternative font) isn't good and looks significantly worse than the font block font United on the original option. Frutiger has a way of making everything look like the mediocre posters of the early to mid-2000s since that was the font those used. Maybe there's nostalgia there, but bleh.
And then the composition and treatment of photos is much better in the first one as well. There's a reason to it. It creates a central and dynamic form in the center, and frames our official cheer, which is pretty unique to us and should get more play. (Oskee-wow-wow has nothing to do with the Chief, so I don't see that as a reason unless all traditions we ever had before 2006 are dead with the Chief.)
But this is of course all just my opinion. Everything's subjective here.
