The decade of the 1950s continued the practice of using the same cover art for an entire season. For most years, the design was a variation of the team captain overlaid on an action photo or graphic.  Argus Camera Inc., the Ann Arbor-based camera manufacturer, supplied the photos for 1950-1952 covers.  Photographers for the other 1950s covers are not credited.  The 1956 covers included photos of the Athletic Department facilities and a rendering of the new stadium press box. Individual programs for 1957-1959 varied only in the use of the opposition's team color (frequently a rather washed-out version of it) as background.
