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.
