Back Banners?

The patch notes say that they’ve added back banners, but from the wiki it just looks like exotic versions of guild backpacks. I don’t have a big guild so I was wondering if these are actual banners or just backpacks.

I suggested a while back that back banners would make enemy guilds more recognizable at a distance.

Here’s an example:

Those are the two options for it, BTW. You can get them at the commendation merchant, and need the guild commendations you get from guild missions to purchase. They take the backpack slot.

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.
