Posting this just so we can keep track: as full as we can assemble a list of previous-championship shout-outs in this year's show. I'm writing down as many as I can identify (which is definitely not near all of them), and will add others as people point them out (and will actually update them, unlike the vanishing Uniform Database updater).

1976: Legend of the One-Eyed Sailor cadence to open
1977:
1979: La Suerte de Los Tontos in the opener
1980: La Suerte, Dindi
1982: Guard wings (h/t several people)
1986:
1994:
1996:
1997: As Time Goes By in the opener (h/t saxfreq, NakedEye)
1999:
2003: Blue Rondo a La Turk snippet in the opener
2007: wings in guard in closer (h/t Cadevilina Crown)
2009:
2010: Mirrors on the stairs, La Suerte
2012: visibly hanging jackets under the stairs
2014: that brass feature in the closer
2015: does the use of Rihanna here count as a shout-out to the Kpop section?

Also: can anyone identify what the feature right after "Blue Rondo" is in the above video? It sounds incredibly familiar, but I can't place it.

Yes.  BTW the drum break in the closer has a callback to the drum break  in the opener of 2015.  8:57 in this video:
