Gameplay is overseen by marshals, known as heralds (or referees) wearing yellow tabards. The prizes include special tabards, gimmick items, non-combat pets, and mounts. These horns carry the tabards of their specific regiments. Red and purple tabards can still be purchased. The most recognisable item of the herald's wardrobe has always been their tabards. They can be recognized by their yellow tabards. Tabards are also used by large retail stores to indicate employees. Tabards were apparently distinguished from surcoats by being open-sided, and by being shorter.
