I think since cosmetics is now a huge part of the game and having the “best dressed” emblem is now a thing, that we should add clan based cosmetics to encourage guardians to get more invested in the game and in their teams.
Reward guardians for sticking it out in a clan by making a week by week unlock for clans, that is cosmetic (aka: not force peeps to be on a team to get meta weapons or gear, just cool looks) for example:
1 week: reaching clan xp 100%: clan colors shader pops (created based on clans’s banner color scheme). Doesn’t change from initial color scheme though, that might be complicated.
2 or 3 weeks: meeting clan xp 100%: clan banner available as emblem.
4 or 5 weeks: meeting clan xp 100%: clan inspired exotic armor ornament for the top three most popular exotic armors (one for each class).
10 weeks: meeting clan xp 100%: clan inspired most popular exotic weapon ornament.
15 or 20 weeks: meeting clan xp 100%: clan inspired exotic sparrow with clan banner displayed on hood.
Playing gambit with clan members: after ten games : a “dredgens United” emblem drops
Playing crucible with clan and winning ten games: a “forged as friends” emblem drops
Raiding together with clan: a “raid night” emblem drops with counter now available for raids completed with clan mates.
And I’m sure with the new leveling system that is in place for vendors that this type of unlock could be placed on hawthorn in the tower to dish out the goodies. And basing everything on the pre-existing banner creation tool technology could make the process more streamlined. And I know there are guardians out there and devs with awesome ideas to add to this concept.

Sounds great, would love to see it!
