Ummm ... there may be a confusion with loops that are electrically large
... like a circumference of 360 deg. They are E-field antennas [just
like a half-wave dipole or 1/4 wave vertical] and the feed point
determines the polarization. Polarization matters at VHF and above, but
at HF, the received polarization will be random and changing due to
Faraday Rotation in the ionosphere.
I believe this thread is about "small magnetic loops," whose
circumference is only a handful of degrees, such as the AlexLoop [a
resonant transformer], and others directly fed. The feed point does not
matter for small magnetic loops.

The vertical loop can be horizontally polarized by feeding it in the
middle of the top or bottom edges.
It can be vertically polarized by feeding it in the middle of the
vertical edges.
