This thread is for things like the T-shirt references. Songs, bands, symbols, anything that shows up in GC but doesn't really have anything to do with the story.
For instance, while I was re-reading I noticed that when Reynardine is jumping for Annie, in one frame he looks a lot like the logo for Kojima Productions.

From an interview with Hideo:
GS: Once they decided to do Kojima Productions, how did you settle on the logo?
HK: So first when we set up Kojima Productions, you know, we were known worldwide with Metal Gear and Snake, so just like the, you know, the ET logo that they have, we thought of using the Snake as our identification logo.
And we actually thought about creating Snake with a gun silhouette, that kind of logo type, but it really didn't hit the bell to any of our staff. So that's when we thought, "OK, why not take the step a little bit backwards. Where does the Snake belong? Oh yeah, he belongs to [Foxhound], the fox group, so we should try to create a logo based on the fox."
Well a fox, the animal itself, probably has the same reputation worldwide. It's kind of like sneaky or deceiving to people or some animals. So we wanted to put that message in--in good terms actually. We wanted to surprise the people. We wanted to surprise the user, not to deceive but to surprise. So we had that meaning in the fox as well.
