Breakfast Topic: What tabard do you wear?
.jpg)
So I have to admit, one of the most annoying parts of Beta testing my Death Knight is that I don't have access to any decent tabards. It's annoying, and I feel almost naked without one, but I don't have the time to grind exalted with any factions.
Thinking about that got me thinking about my tabard choices for my other characters. Of course, in Wrath, tabards are going to get all mixed up a bit, what with that new championing system, but I'll probably keep my favorite tabards on hand for swapping in when I'm not grinding faction. Actually, I may just tend toward my guild's tabard in Northrend, since our guild's backstory is intertwined with Northrend itself. Besides, I like to show a little guild pride when I can, and it's been a while since I wore a guild tabard on any of my alliance 70s.
Currently, my Druid wears the Cenarion Expedition tabard. Not only does the green and brown go well with his leather, but it's the closest there is to a Cenarion Circle tabard. For my Dwarf Hunter, it's an Argent Dawn tabard, since she's an especially zealous enemy of the Scourge. For my Warlock, the Scryer's Tabard, because he admires the Blood Elf race and (what he sees as) their dedication to knowledge at any price.
So why do your characters wear the tabard they wear? Do you plan to do any tabard swapping for Wrath of the Lich King?

Tabard of Summer Flames. I'm in love with that thing, and it matches my shaman armor so nicely.
I may switch to Shattered Sun if TSF starts to clash though.

My Warlock is currently sporting the SSO tabard while my Hunter still has his old Mag'har tabard.

Using Blood Knight Tabard because it's the most good looking tabard imo ingame.

My warlock always wears his Battle tabard of the defilers, since he was all about PVP before TBC and the skull and dark green look good with his gear. All the rest wear my guild tabard because they don't have the rep for any others usually and ours matches most gear.

My paladin wear the guild tabard because it's cool, and it matches her purple hat.
My hunter tends to wear the SSO one because it ties the outfit together pretty well.
My mage doesn't usually wear one because he has a full PVP set, which already matches. :D
I switch around now and then, though. I quite like the Og'rila one.

On my main pally it's usually Tabard of Summer Flames, or the scryer's one (looks far better than SSO, IMO) if fancy takes me.
On my alts... hmmm, guid or none.

Never worn one, probably never will, it kind of detracts from the armor I am wearing. I also dont display capes, I guess I'm weird.

Since I don't have a 70, I don't really have access to any of those fancy rep tabards, but on my PvPaladin, I usually rotate between Scout's Tabard or the fugly arse Competitors. I wear my Guilds Tabard on my Lock though, because it watches my robe, and looks cool. I just wish Tranquillien had a tabard :P Only one I'm exalted with on any of em, since they're 90% Blood Elves

I wear my guild tabard. On every character. Seems like it's just a requirement of GL-hood - would feel strange not to wear it.

Scarlet Crusade tabard.
I went back at 70 to farm for it, and it took a bit longer than I expected. What I really want is the KoT tabard, but nobody on my server seems to run CoT instances anymore...

yeah i got the scarlet cruade tabard on my 70 a little while back but i switched it to my green illidari tabard when i got that because it matches my gear perfectly and looks badass at the same time...
im surprised that blizzard hasnt given death knights a knights of the ebon blade tabard or something through their starting quests like they do for belf pallies and draenei...
well whatever... im totally going to get the scarlet crusade tabard on my dk... just because how much of a juxtaposition it is... like wearing the shatar or cenarion expedition tabard on my lock lol...

On my Priest, I usually match a tabard to whatever robe I'm wearing. I'm using the Aldor Tabard with my Healing (PMC) and DPS T4 and the Mag'har Tabard with my PvP stuff (S3).
Most other characters rock the guild tabard, mainly for ease of use though.

Hordie PvP tabards look SOO much better than Alliance ones.
SSC seems the most vibrant currently, and hence what my shammy wears. I compared it with the Scryer's one at a point and ick. SSC >> Scryer tabard...

Does it matter? I've got a Shadowpriest, so I'm purple all over anyway.
