I saw this sentence "Today is so yesterday" on a T-shirt one of my American friends wore.
My first impression is that the sentence means what's happening today is just repeating what's happening in the past. But I feel there might be some other interpretations too.
What will be English natives' take for the sentence?

"xxx is so yesterday" doesn't mean that xxx is the same as yesterday-in fact, the phrase isn't usually applied to dates at all. What it typically means is that xxx, whatever that may be, is out of fashion. It is a thing of yesterday, not a thing of today. There are several variants of this phrase in English, substituting in various past times, such as "xxx is so last year".
The t-shirt in question is (probably) a joke on the pace of changing fashions.
