Tabard
From WoWWiki
Tabard refers to a type of clothing worn in the tabard equipment slot over a character's chest armor and bears a symbol or design. Its only function is to make the wearer recognizable on sight as a member of a guild or a ranking PvP player. Tabards do not provide any armor or attribute bonuses.

Guild Tabards
Guild tabards can be purchased for 1
from a guildmaster in the Visitor's Center of any faction capital city. Guild leaders can customize the symbol and color scheme of the guild's tabard for 10 .
Once your tabard crest has been created, it will take another 10 each and every time you wish to make a change to it, so make sure you like its design once it's done or else you'll have to pay another 10 .
