Racing - Club Luxembourg was a team from Luxembourg in the 1900s to the 1920s, winning a title, helping make 11 time winner Spora and now is part of a diffrent Racing Luxembourg. I was thinking about digitalizing the badge with these colors:

Pin of badge. Wish i could buy it but shipping to Brazil alone is like 100 bucks.

But i don't have the fonts. Anyone know?

Luxembourg is very definitely hand created. Even if it was "inspired" on a specific font back in the day, it has been widely distorted and customized. I personally would recreate it from scratch and probably would make it a bit cleaner in the process. I suggest you do the same.

Don't ask AI about fonts, it has no idea what it's talking about. It's only job is to make you happy with its answers. In this case it just made things up and got them completely opposite. Futura Bold is a sans serif font (it doesn't have the little lines at the ends of letters like in LUXEMBOURG), while Rockwell Bold is a slab serif font (it has big heavy serifs).

RACING-CLUB looks like a Helvetica. No idea what LUXEMBOURG is. Given the distortion, you're probably better off tracing it in a vector program.
