According to jisho.org,
[グローブ](http://jisho.org/search/%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AD%E3%83%BC%E3%83%96) seems to
have a "sports" nuance to it, wherease
[手袋{てぶくろ}](http://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%A6%E3%81%B6%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8D) seems
to be more general. Is this accurate?

Difference between てぶくろ and グローブ
Exactly. See how different they are. (Sorry for oversized image.)

We imagine 手袋 as a kind of clothes for everyday life and work, and グローブ as a
sports gear. Of course, more accurate transcription of _glove_ is
[グラブ](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B0%E3%83%A9%E3%83%96_%28%E9%87%8E%E7%90%83%29),
which is preferred by baseball players.

Some Japanese traditional sports have gloves that are never called グローブ. For
example, in 剣道【けんどう】 they use
[小手【こて】（籠手）](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B1%A0%E6%89%8B) (but
technically because it's rather like cloth gauntlet).
