Personal
The Burnie suit is a full-body costume. The body is furry orange with orange feathers for hair. Burnie's "nose" is a green basketball. Burnie wears number 0 for the Heat, typically in a black uniform, although he's also worn the Heat's red and white jerseys during playoff promotions. During the 2012 NBA Playoffs, due to the "White Hot Playoffs" of the Miami Heat, Burnie changed his outfit. It is still the same suit, but instead of the normal coloring, it is colored all-white. Burnie also wears an all-white Miami Heat jersey, with the words having a black trim. He may also wear a white Miami Heat t-shirt sometimes. Burnie is also the only Jewish mascot in the league. He is currently played by Gustavo Guerra.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“Your children don’t have equal talents now and they won’t have equal opportunities later in life. You may be able to divide resources equally in childhood, but your best efforts won’t succeed in shielding them from personal or physical crises. . . . Your heart will be broken a thousand times if you really expect to equalize your children’s happiness by striving to love them equally.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“A man who has nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the existing of better men than himself.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
“Devout believers are safeguarded in a high degree against the risk of certain neurotic illnesses; their acceptance of the universal neurosis spares them the task of constructing a personal one.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
